Lilies

I am in awe of the creations of God. Today the flowers were bright and bold. The sun was high in the summer sky giving warmth (maybe an understatement) and energy to the earth. There was a slight breeze it smelled fresh and green. I am assuming you know what green smells like, fresh cut grass on a warm summer afternoon or under a shade tree smell. The birds were busy making beautiful sounds. Even the sound of water splashing in the fountain was soothing. Outside today it was easy to believe there was a God. A God in control of this world and the next. He is powerful and majestic. But also he is creative, full of color and variety. This God is HUGE but he pays attention to the smallest detail. You can see the creator in the tiny ants as they carry their "young" to safety when you disturb their log home. Today, I am sure of my trust in God. Why do I grow scared or weary? I loose my way so easily. I worry about tomorrow and I regret yesterday. Same useless emotion frontward and backward. Or I look out at others feeling left out or cheated. REALLY? God is in control, he is powerful and majestic, creative and he pays attention to the smallest detail. Me.
"Consider how the lilies of the field grow; they do not work or sew, yet I say to you that not even King Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these." Matt. 6:29
Oh, I am very thankful.
