Psalm 104:24
"O Lord how manifold are thy works! in wisdom
has thou made them all: the earth
is full of thy riches."
For
children, the world is a magical place. Everything is new and exciting. They
marvel at the sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky. They relish the
opportunity to watch something as simple as a ladybug crawling across a leaf or
a butterfly fluttering from one flower to another. They see the world with
fresh eyes, and through their eyes, everything is amazing!
By the time we have been on the planet for a decade or two, much of the magic has been lost. We take it for granted, that we live in a beautiful world that is both mysterious and wondrous. We hardly notice the magnificent sky above or the lush grass on the ground. As we walk around our planet, we aren’t even cognizant of the fact that we are on a sphere that is spinning around in outer space and yet everything around us remains completely still. It’s so easy to spend a lifetime on this planet and miss out on the beauty of God’s creation.

We need to
step back, look around, and say, "Wow! This place is amazing, God!" In
Psalm 104, King David reflected on the wonders of our world. He spoke about how
the waters once covered the entire world, but then God separated the waters and
placed them in oceans and rivers so that people would have land to live upon (v. 6-9). David delighted in the fact that God created a world complete with
delicious fruit and vegetation that sustains both man and animal.
But not only that, God also created things such as oil and wine, items that are not necessary, but are gifts that bring joy and relaxation to people (v.15). David marveled at the day and night cycles that form a working rhythm in the world. The most dangerous beasts hunt at night when people are home, and return to their habitats in the day when people are out (v. 20–23).
Indeed, God created an amazing and diverse world for us to live in that reveals intelligence beyond our comprehension. Let us look at God’s world and appreciate it with new eyes. Every wonderful thing that you will discover is a manifestation of His love for us and a testimony to His glory!!
