“Then God looked
over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and
morning came, marking the sixth day.” (Genesis 1:31)
The
story of our creation is not one that is filled with errors but instead perfection.
You are not just a happenstance but an intentional act of God. You were created
to love him and to be loved by him. Unfortunately, we know that when humankind
fell from grace the image of creation became marred. It is now very difficult
for us to see what is good in life and what we need to fulfill our spiritual
destiny. However, I want us to look around and see all the good that is life.
Every time you see the smile on the face of a child that is the goodness of
God. Every time you see a sunset or a
sunrise that is the goodness of God. Every time you wake up to a new day that
is the goodness of God. Yes, God is good, and you and I were created by his
goodness. Live today in the knowledge of the goodness of God.
IronMaker’s Daily Challenge: Stop and notice the beauty in
nature and ponder how God created all things and loves you most of all.
Prayer: Lord, give me eyes that are able to see the beauty in Your
creation, and let me see my purpose in it.
