Dear Young Christian:
I believe that those of us who are saved can enjoy the wonders of creation in a deeper way than the unbeliever. That’s because we know the Creator in an intimate relationship as our Father. As I write this calendar page, I am looking at a beautiful bouquet of flowers on our dining room table. The vibrant colors are amazing: Yellow, pink, blue, orange, white, purple, and green … all for the Creator’s enjoyment and for ours as well. “All things were created by Him, and for Him” (Colossians 1:16).
When we get to Heaven, we will give the Lord worship and praise, not just as Redeemer, but also as Creator. We will fall at His feet saying, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created” (Revelation 4:11). As you enjoy creation this week, remember the One who created it all and who sustains it all as well. And remember, too, that this mighty Creator is interested in every aspect and detail of our lives.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
