Spend Time in Nature - Giving thanks and praise to our Creator

Our generation is surrounded by the creations of man
and has become so distant from the creations of God. 

We are surrounded by concrete, steel, glass, plastic, rubber,
and all of the things that man makes. 

We spend many hours watching electronic screens,
and so little time in God's creation or reading God's Word.

The human race is very rapidly losing touch with the things that God has made.

Our mind tends to focus automatically on what we are surrounded by. 

Today, we are not walking behind a mule,
plowing the ground,
and listening to the birds as we plow;
or putting seeds in the ground,
watching them come up.
We have lost sight of the fact that God is the ultimate source of the foods we need each day.
He continues to provide for His Creation.
He sends the rain, and He brings forth the fruit. 
We forget the true source
because we have our food so readily available at the local grocery store.

If we do not have contact with God's creation,
We very quickly begin to have our minds filled with other things,
and we are then cast adrift
because we are thoughts are consumed by those things.
We forget to acknowledge the Creator.
We forget His Love, and His desire to have a relationship with us.

If you find your life consumed by the things of man,
I would encourage you to include time exploring the nature around you
as something you make time to do each day
( even a few minutes to just stop and listen to the birds sing ).
Make plans to walk in a park or along the shore of the ocean or a lake nearby.
I promise if you take the time to enjoy God's creation, and spend some time 
talking to Him, you will be blessed.
God is waiting for us to spend time with Him.
He wants to hear from us.
He will provide more than just your daily bread,
if you look to Him for the answers to all your needs.

I think you'll enjoy it too.

Psalm 104:24-25
"How many are your works, Lord!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
There is the sea, vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number
—living things both large and small."

and..

Romans 1:20
"For since the creation of the world,
God’s invisible qualities
—his eternal power and divine nature
—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,
so that people are without excuse."

The heavens declare the glory of God, 

and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

~ Psalm 19:1ESV

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, 

but exhorting one another, 

and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:23-25
