"Thanking God for Nature"

PSALMS 65 [To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.] I know, I did not know what to think at first, until I read it; it seems that there are some pretty good lessons to be learned by observing nature; Jesus used many examples in His parables. But this is the titles above this Psalm in my Bible, so that's what I am going with. Last night was not your typical good night, it was actually rather busy; Marianne needed to be suctioned almost every half-hour, and between that, the A/C cutting in and out kept me awake; so I really did not get soundly to sleep until around 2:30. That said, it was rather nice having her next to me, and I think she felt the same; usually I just slide her bed next to mine, so sleeping in the same bed seemed more like old times. Consistency is something that we naturally long for, it makes life seem more pleasant when we know what to expect, and when we expect something to be a certain way and it does not disappoint us. For the most part, that is what nature is, it is consistent; if you want to see a sunset, there is usually a sunset to be looked upon; if you want to smell the roses, when you find some, they will smell. These can be gentle and living reminders of God's consistency and promises, because He does not change. We on the other hand are very inconsistent, we change daily, almost momentarily! Sometimes when you are on a Carousel, it is always nice to have something that is never moving, like the animal you are on; the ride might be turning, the bars go up and down, but the animal never changes... "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life - whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your Heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to Him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make clothing, yet Solomon in all of his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?" (Matthew 6:25-30) NLT
