21 Days of Prayer – Day 9
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
The Creator
Think about what it’s like to bring an art project home from school —
something you’ve worked hard to make, all by yourself. You’ve poured
your own unique creativity and skills into designing your masterpiece.
How would you feel if you brought it home, hung it in the middle of
the living room, and then watched as everyone completely ignored it?
Think about it. Not one gasp of amazement. Not one “Wow, how did
you do this?” Not one comment about the colors you used or the skill
of your design or the amazing talent behind the work. How would you
feel?
Do you suppose God feels the same way when people ignore his
creation? After all, he created the world and everything in it. Every day
we are surrounded by the beauty of his work and the incredible detail
of his design. But how often do we mention it? How often do we even
notice it?
Let’s start a habit of giving God his due. Let’s make a commitment to
noticing something new, something beautiful, something incredible in
creation every day and thanking him for it. Let’s see what that does for
our relationship with him.
- What’s your favorite — whether it’s an animal, plant, rock formation, beach or something else — of all the works of creation?
- How do you feel when you think about everything God has created?
Dear God, we are in awe of your creation. Every day we see something
incredible that you made. Let us never lose our sense of wonder at your
creative power. Amen.
Daily Adventure
Take a walk in God’s nature today (if it’s raining ask Mum/Dad if you can look at some nature photos or watch a video about nature). While out for a walk take a photo or draw something that catches your eye. Thank God for creating it and praise him for it.
