Hi there!
So there was a thread about praising God for the natural world, and it got bogged down in debate, and it got shut down. So I went and checked if I could open another one, and I was told it was up to me. So here it is! A thread about the natural world and praising God for it!
The big aha moment for me, when it came to the natural world, was a fact about owls. Did you know that the shape of the tip of the owl's wing, makes the flight of the owl silent? However you want to say it was created, why did God give extra attention to the sound of the wings? Does the owl give extra attention to itself? Where then does it get the extra knowledge about the sound? To me, that says not only did the owl care that it was created, but God cared that it cared!
Rather than argue where the inspiration came from, let me just say: praise God for the wings of the owl and their silence! I thank you Lord for all those times when the mouse did not hear the owl coming! What food!
And let us pray "Lord, like the owl's feather tips, give us nuance and care to our design, that as our character develops, our having come from You, is unmistakeable - that we may be effective and courageous servants to You Will, in Your Name Amen."
I hope this will be of some encouragement.
God bless.
