Dear God: Your Works Are Apparent

picture sbrigeThe works of the LORD are apparent in everything we see. He is all around us.

Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.  He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breatketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still and know that I am GOD: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.”  (Psalm 46:8-11 KJV)

The Lord sees all, knows all and keeps track of everything that goes on in the Universe. Our Father, King of the Universe, Lord of lords and King of kings, is on watch at all times. And we–His children take up a large part of His time because He never stops watching over us.

His heart is with us in all that we do. We may slip sometimes, but His hands will help us up. He is a merciful God. We may get angry at times about inconsquential matters, or significant ones…but His heart loves us and will grace us with understanding as we seek His forgiveness in repentence.

God is with us when someone seems unapproachable. We might speak to them tenderly with great compassion. Or we might smile in silence as we accept them unconditionally…when suddenly, like a piece of ice on hot pavement, we witness warmth overcome the individual who feels the presence of the Lord, as we shine His light forth from within.

Things will happen through God.  It is because of Him that plants grow, rain falls, and the sun shines. It is because of Him that rivers flow, and birds fly.  “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.” (Psalm 48:1 KJV)

As we go about our daily routine in witness of His love, we know that even the car we are driving belongs to God. Man may have the tools to put a car together, but it is GOD who made the tools in the first place, through the natural resources in which tools, and metal, and everthing else is formed. His works are apparent in all we see, and in all we do.

The faithful will be rewarded. As we go forward let’s not forget to give Him daily praise.  Let’s not forget to seek His glorious face, and ask for His blessings on all that we do.  Ask for His guidance in all that we undertake, and bless His name in all that we are. “But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever…” (Psalm 52:8 KJV)

The next time you sit down on a chair, or bench, or even your couch…remember it’s there because God had a big hand in it, and tell Him “Thank you my loving Father, I love You.”

Praise His name forever…Amen
