My Father’s World

It’s one of my happiest pastimes to go out walking, looking to find the gifts of beauty God has for me today… here are this week’s finds:
——————————————————————————————————————————-
This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ear all nature sings…

and round me rings the music of the spheres.

This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees,

.

of skies and seas—

His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father’s world:  He shines in all that’s fair;

In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,

He speaks to me everywhere.
–Maltbie D. Babcock (1858-1901)

“The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything….He is actually not far from each one of us, for ‘in Him we live and move and have our being.’ “(Acts 17:24-27)
May you find Him as near as your next breath  as you look for His fingerprints in all that surrounds you.
