Read: Psalm 19:1–4
Most days, we move quickly from one thing to the next—checking our phones,
running errands, solving problems—without really lifting our eyes. But think about
the last time something in nature caught your eye without trying to. A sky that
stopped you mid-sentence. A fresh snowfall. A tree that’s somehow still standing
after every season it’s been through.
God’s creation doesn’t shout for attention, but it's constantly speaking. The order
and beauty of the world around us reflect a God who is intentional, creative, and
trustworthy.
Nature reminds us that God holds everything together—even the things we can’t
control. When you slow down long enough to notice, the natural world around you
can recalibrate your heart, quiet your anxiety, and open you up to hearing God’s
voice in ways you might often overlook.
Practice: Take a walk or sit somewhere you can look at nature, even if it’s just a
tree in your backyard or a planter on the sidewalk. Ask yourself, “Where do I see
God today?” Notice the small details, colors, or patterns and thank God for his
creativity and attention to detail.
