“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
As I write this on October 3, 2022, it is a beautiful day here in eastern Ontario, Canada. The sun is shining, and it is about 18 deg. C. (about 65 deg. F.). It is a perfect day for a walk outdoors. The maple and oak trees are beginning to exhibit their fall colors, and around the area farmers are harvesting things like corn, soybeans, pumpkins, and apples. Some friends from another country are visiting us, and they are very much enjoying the weather and the various sights that are different from their home country.
How good the Lord is to give us all these things! In spite of the fall of man, and the fact that sin has spoiled God’s creation, we can still enjoy much of the goodness of God. His goodness to man has not ceased because of sin, and He wants us to enjoy each day which He has made.
Of course, we cannot really enjoy God’s creation unless we know the Creator, and the only way to know Him is through the Lord Jesus, who came into this world as a man to reveal God’s heart of love. When we know the Lord Jesus as our Savior, we can enjoy creation even more.
