When we touch earth, we are touching something deeply ancient, deeply alive. It may seem solid and lifeless, but scoop up a handful of dirt and you have a living substance. And without gravity, nothing would stay in place. Let us not lose the wonder of the free gifts God has given to all the Earth.
One of the saddest things about growing older is not the wrinkles on our faces; it’s the wonder we sometimes lose from our hearts. The same is true the longer we follow Jesus. Familiarity is one of faith’s greatest thieves. For the sake of the gospel and the vitality of our own faith, let us hold on to wonder as we walk in the world that is still full of God.
Air is our silent companion from the moment we are born until our final breath. It connects us to every living thing around us. Yet it is the most taken-for-granted of all life’s necessities. Across cultures, air carries profound symbolic meaning. This is an opportunity to thank God for the breath of life!
Water is a true wonder we easily take for granted. It is so essential for life on planet Earth, and so rare in the known universe that it deserves the utmost respect from us all. The characteristics of water provide us with a great example of grace. As we contemplate the wonder of water, let us give praise for God's glorious grace.
