Our hearts long for something greater, something MORE. I feel this ache, this yearning, frequently. It's because God created us to know HIM, to know Something greater than this world has to offer. And it is when I am in creation that I feel this yearning most strongly, because all creation proclaims God's reality. It shouts of His glory. Even if we don't acknowledge Him, creation does. And our hearts feel a whisper, an echo of something ancient and deep and holy. When I am feeling anxious and falling into patterns of focusing on myself and my own little world, I am thankful for the moments of rest God gives me in creation - where my heart is reminded of the reality of something More and my soul is drawn back to the Glory that created us all.
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his
hands....They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from
them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the
ends of the world."
Psalm 19:1-4
