It's April 1st and 68.4 degrees Fahrenheit in State College today - I wore my Crocs without even any socks!!! I've been enjoying creation today - watching really FAT robins that I'm sure are ready to fill some nests with eggs and seeing the bright yellow of the ready-to-burst weeping willow trees out here at Harvest Fields. I was reading from John Piper's blog today and read this quote (by Piper) about God and his creation.
"God means for us to be stunned and awed by his work of creation. But not for its own sake. He means for us always to look at his creation and say: If the work of his hands is so full of wisdom and power and grandeur and majesty and beauty, what must this God be like in himself!"
What must He be like in himself??
Excerpts from Psalm 111 (MSG) describe him like this:
"Hallelujah! I give thanks to GOD with everything I've got. God's works are so great, worth a lifetime of study—endless enjoyment!
Splendor and beauty mark his craft; His generosity never gives out.
His miracles are his memorial— this GOD of Grace, this God of Love.
He manufactures truth and justice;
He paid the ransom for his people,
He ordered his Covenant kept forever.
He's so personal and holy, worthy of our respect.
The good life begins in the fear of GOD—
Do that and you'll know the blessing of GOD.
His Hallelujah lasts forever!"
Hallelujah!
FOREVER!
