When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.
Psalm 104:28
Daily Thought
Weeks before Christmas, the pool table morphs into my wife's workshop. Paper, pens, scissors, tape, ribbons, and bows scattered across the green felt. Gifts become expressions of delight before they are placed under the tree.
Debbie's love speaks through the wrap as much as the treasures inside.
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
--Genesis 1:29
God does not merely meet our needs. He delights our senses.
Oranges, bananas, corn, walnuts. Not simply consumed, they are shucked, shelled, peeled, and cracked. They are sour, sweet, and salty. They are green, yellow, red, orange, purple.
Creation comes gift-wrapped.
To God's Glory,
Dave
Daily Prayer
Oh God, this world is amazing. It proclaims an amazing God. Nothing in creation is silent. All of creation proclaims Your wonder, Your delight, Your joy, Your wisdom.
When You sent Your Son, You called Him the Word. Your Word. You express Yourself. When Jesus said, "The rocks would cry out," they do!!!
Amen
