But the LORD made the earth by his power,
and he preserves it by his wisdom.
With his own understanding
he stretched out the heavens.
—Jeremiah 10:12 (NLT)
LORD GOD Almighty,
As I consider, with wondrous awe, the earth and the heavens, let their magnificence always lead me to worship You—for it is only by Your power and understanding that they even exist and only by Your wisdom that they remain.
I do stand amazed
at the beauty of Your creation—the intricate, interdependent balance of all
created things and the diversity which You have placed before us, and then,
happily invited us to discover.
But let me be
even more amazed at You, for You are the one who spoke it all into existence
from nothing—by Your Word, through faith.
And then, when it was all prepared, created man and put him in the middle
of it all.
Help me to grasp
that You set all things in place and put them into motion for our benefit—for
our provision, use and enjoyment, and so that in Your creation we might see,
believe and worship not Your
creation, but You alone.
As I consider, with wondrous awe, the earth and the heavens, let their magnificence always lead me to worship You—for it is only by Your power and understanding that they even exist and only by Your wisdom that they remain.
In the name of
Jesus, Amen.
