Have you ever gazed into the night sky and were filled with awe by the multitude of stars in the heavens, or stilled by the colors produced from the setting of the sun, or in complete awe of the vast expanse from a mountain peak? And in some way do these moments point you to God and remind you of his amazing power as Creator of everything? It really puts everything into perspective, and may remind you that God cares for you. He is in control of your life, and is providing and satisfying your every need, whether you realize it or not.
This past Monday, TWF small groups went over their first lesson, Psalm 104 "The God Who Satisfies". In Psalm 104 David writes about God's splendor and majesty in heaven, and His complete control over all of His creation. The Psalm opens with a beautiful picture of God in heaven ruling as Creator. It then goes into His control of creation; He gives water as refreshment to all living; He provides a dwelling place for each creature; He brings forth plants for animals to feed on and man to cultivate for food; He controls the celestial bodies that provide light both day and night; He sustains the sea and all living creatures in it; He gives life and He brings death; and because of God's care over all of creation He deserves glory and praise.
So if you are facing a trail or are overwhelmed by life's responsibilities, just look out your window and remember that the God who created all things still cares for you and is satisfying your every need.
Psalm 104:28b.
"When you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things."
