Day Twenty-Two: Creator

I've been reminiscing a lot lately about the time I spent in Tanzania 4 and a half years ago. Those were two of the best months of my life and I always look back on them with find memories knowing that God grew me tremendously during that time. It was during those months that I viewed God as Creator in a way that I hadn't before. Sunsets over the Indian Ocean, beautiful views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, safari on the African plains and the.most.amazing view of the starry night sky. It was throughout this time that we were doing a Bible study on the book of Colossians and chapter 1 verse 16 came alive in a real way.

"For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created through Him and for Him." - Colossians 1:16

It's all His. He created it and He holds it all together. His creation declares His glory and majesty. Since my time in Tanzania I find myself so much more aware of God's incredible creation and often praise Him for it.

"Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right." - 1 Peter 4:19

Dear Jesus,
I praise You wonderful Creator for Your incredible masterpiece. Your beautiful, glory and majesty are evident in what You have created. Thank You that it also reveals the depth of Your love to us. I love you. Amen.
