Slowing Down for Spiritual Growth (Psalm 95:5-6)

Psalm 95:5-6 The sea and dry land belong to God, who made them, formed them by hand. Enter, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord who made us. 

Yesterday, the verse mentioned that in God’s hands was the depths of the earth and the tops of the mountains. Today, we continue with another aspect of God’s handy work: the sea and the dry land. God made all the oceans, the deep seas, the small lakes. He made up the beaches on the coasts, the land near the watersides. He created every animal in all the water. How beautiful his imagination must be! 

His greatest creation was people. We were all from Adam and Eve, who came from dust and bone, but there is no two people exactly alike. Even identical twins have different fingerprints. Every millimeter of us was planned. God did so many great things when he formed us in our mother’s womb. For that alone we should blown down.  With a heart that begins beating at around 6 weeks old and a brain that begins forming before that, God created us from nothing. Every cell has a specific purpose. Every unit of our body has a reason. God designed us from the beginning for a purpose. Sometimes we may not feel like we understand or like the way he made us, but it isn’t for us to challenge. God has his reasons for creating us each uniquely, just as each of the sea creatures are unique. 

Lord, thank you for every animal on this planet. Thank you for the mountains, for the valleys. Thank you for the sea and the dry land. Thank you for each person you have created. Thank you for my family, my friends, and myself. Praise your glorious name.

Moving is hard. If you never have, it’s not something to take lightly. I haven’t moved nearly as many times as some people, but I have lived...
