"Let the fields and their crops burst forth with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise before the Lord!" (Psalm 96:12, NLT)With our son home on leave from the Navy, we decided to take a road trip on our motorcycles to the Redwood forest in California. It was cold and cloudy, with plenty of northwest liquid sunshine as we travelled through Oregon, but our time in California, among the giant trees was perfect. The sun shone bright, the breeze carried the fragrance of the trees and wildflowers, and we could hear the sounds of bird songs, rushing water from a nearby river, and the wind winding through the treetops, as we hiked through miles of massive trees. I can't imagine that I will ever lose the awe that I feel, each time God reveals to me how creative, and yet how powerful He is. To think that he can create such splendor and such diversity, with all creatures, plants, animals, and even the conditions needed to sustain them (air, water, soil nutrients, sunlight, etc) all working together in perfect harmony, and yet he can be interested in even the smallest detail of my seemingly insignificant life amazes me. I just can't get enough of my God and all of his wonders.
