Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What an incredible world we live in! The expanse of space is humbling. The majesty of the mountain peaks takes away our breath. The fresh coat of grace with each sunrise and sunset is beautiful. On and on, we could go, describing all the beautiful, magnificent, and awe-inspiring wonders of the universe. The universe's variety, order, symmetry, and surprises all testify to God, the Genius behind it all. God left these fingerprints on our creation so we could "seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 'For in him we live and move and have our being'" (Acts 17:27-28).

My Prayer...

O Lord, Almighty God, your works of creation astound me with your incredible sense of majesty, grace, wonder, awe, and beauty. Thank you for making your fingerprints so clearly seen in our astonishing world. In Jesus' name, I praise and thank you. Amen.
