Devotional Song: … GO TO THIS LINK … Please take the time to take in a YouTube video with Gordon Mote singing … Don’t Let Me Miss the Glory … poignantly singing of how we see at least some of the greatness of our God in His creation.

Highlight Verse[s]: Hebrews 1:3a [NLT] … 3 The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and He sustains everything by the mighty power of His command.

Reference Passage : … Romans 1:20 [NLT] … 20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities — His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Lisa M Samra, uses a word picture of a watchmaker to show how God’s creation helps us to appreciate the masterworks of our Lord thru His creation. The ODB author wrote … Working with a magnifying glass and tweezers, Swiss watchmaker Phillipe meticulously explained to me how he takes apart, cleans, and reassembles the tiny parts of specialty mechanical watches. Looking at all the intricate pieces, Phillipe showed me the essential component of the timepiece, the mainspring [see photo]. The mainspring is the component that moves all the gears to allow the watch to keep time. Without it, even the most expertly designed watch will not function.
When we see the inner workings of an intricate Swiss watch, we can appreciate the wonderful, intricate creation of the watchmaker, … just as we can see and appreciate at least some of God’s glory when we look around us and see all that God has created for His own glory and our pleasure and well being.
So, as Gordon Mote sings in the linked song, let’s all look around us today and take in the reality that all we see was created BY God, … FOR God, … and for the masterpiece of His creation; … and that, my friends, is us!!
=============
My THANKFULNESS: … Oh Abba Father, … thank You, Lord, … for Your creation and Your glory we see in this world.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, … King Jesus, … I pray, Lord, that all reading here can, and will, join me to declare a resounding ”HALLELUJAH!” as we see at least some of God’s glory in His creation. … Amen
