Words to Treasure
You made human beings rule over everything your hands created.
Psalm 8:6
Jason patted the surface of the water and waited. The bat ray swam just below the surface of the pool with strong flaps of its wing-like fins. The strange sea creature surfaced right in front of Jason and stared up at him with big eyes. The bat ray allowed Jason to stroke its leathery back just like a dog wanting a scratch behind the ears. Jason couldn’t believe he was actually touching this amazing animal. He would remember this forever because it was crazy incredible!
Ever wonder why God created the world? The answer may surprise you. God created the entire universe as a gift to us. This remarkable planet was designed for us to explore and enjoy. But sadly, we often take this incredible gift for granted. Sometimes we just forget to be amazed.
But, how can you not be amazed every day of your life? Just once a day, take time out of your busy schedule to look around at the world you live in. From the bugs crawling at your feet to the Milky Way galaxy above your head at night. The more you explore your world, the more you’ll truly understand what a surprising and generous heavenly Father you have.
