How beautiful are all of God’s works! All speak of His power and wisdom. The beautiful trees in all their variety; the hills and the running stream, with its abundance of fish can only cause our hearts to praise the all-wise Creator, to thus turn to look from nature, up to nature’s God.
But while it is good to rejoice in the power and wisdom of God, and all the beautiful things in creation He has given us, it is better still, dear children, to be able to rejoice in His love—a love that led Him to give up His well-beloved Son as a sacrifice for poor sinners.
Sin and a holy God cannot dwell together, so Jesus took the place that the sinner deserved—being forsaken of God—and now the poor sinner who will believe in Him, may come right into His presence and will never be forsaken.
