Rely On God

26 October 2024

The impressive and imposing mountain of colossal height that looks as if it could touch heaven; the fertile valley with its carpet of living green; the noble trees that reach gracefully to the sky; the exquisite flowers of every colour with their rich and varied fragrance, and every other living creature – birds, animals, fish and plants carry our mind to the great Creator God who made all these wondrous things.

God has not confined the flowers of the fields to grow within set borders, instead He has scattered the flowers like beautiful gems all over the land; making the Earth radiant with their seemingly infinite variety of shapes and colours. God has not arranged the trees in regimented rows either – the flowers, shrubs and trees have all been grouped together in God’s earthly garden making it an all over picture of glorious loveliness.  It is tranquil to the mind to look over the resplendent scenes of nature – oceans, forests, hills, valleys, rivers and sky; taking pleasure from the limitless varieties of form and colour.

God has made all of the beautiful things of nature, and as we study His living lesson book, our minds expand and we thirst to know more and yet more of the majesty of the living God. Our hearts are awakened with reverence, awe and love for the Creator God who is the supplier of every good thing. In the contemplation of God and His wonderful works we are truly ennobled and uplifted, and God calls us to put our faith and trust fully in Him.  We must learn to rely upon God and put our whole dependence in Him.

We make plans to visit other countries and tour their cities:  How much more should we be making plans for the Heavenly country?  There we shall live a life that never ends. The beauty of the Heavenly Kingdom will be even more magnificent than anything our eyes have ever beheld here on Earth!
