he mystery of God’s wisdom is on display wherever we look.  Admittedly, this photo is a little unusual.  With the mist resting on the water, you can almost feel the sting of cold air as a breeze moves the fog across your face.

​

It’s no secret that I love the wilderness, especially deep forests.  They speak to me of God’s wisdom, His power, and His creative genius.  At the same time, I am very much aware that this creation is fallen, and therefore often dangerous.  Truth be told, I kind of like the challenge implicit in that.

​

But we don’t need to go somewhere especially beautiful or exotic to marvel at God’s wisdom and power.  Any weed by the sidewalk screams out that there is a Creator.  Every bug, even those nuisance box elder/stink bugs, are a marvel of creation.

​

Everything that exists rests within a matrix of interconnecting energy.  It is Jesus who holds it all together and it’s something much more wonderful than the matrix that was dreamed up for the Sci-Fi movie, “The Matrix.”

​

However, we become so accustomed to what God has done that we stop seeing it.  We stop thanking Him for His wisdom and generous care for our needs.  We stop marveling at His love for us, at the mercy He shows us.

​

How might we prevent this familiar complacency from setting in?  You CANNOT forget about God if you’re talking to Him.  If you are cultivating the habit of prayer throughout your day you will be regularly reminded to stop and thank Him.

​

If you think about it, even the invitation to enter His presence is astounding!
