This past week we received rain (as well as some snow), and the beauty of the forest when it is wet was visible wherever I looked outside. It is not typically this moist, as we live in a mountain desert, and when we do receive rain it is with a thankful heart to God.
As I surveyed this blessing descending on the earth, I realized that God is showing us in a small way that He loves and cares for His people. It made me wonder, do we show those whom we love that we care for them? How often are we wrapped up in our own desires and cares, thus allowing the people in our lives (and God!) to be neglected?
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" Matthew 6:25-26 (ESV)
God loves and cares for us, and He manifests it to us in His care of creation and the beauty that surrounds us. Let us worship our Creator and marvel at the beauty that He has given us in creation, and may it be evident in our lives that we love our God and the people in our lives.
