Look to the sky

Lamentations 3:22-24
22Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” 

The Lord's great love is new every morning. Great is His faithfulness! I have heard those many times! Now, I know exactly where these praises come from, Lamentations. 

Lamentations is a book in the Bible in which the writer "laments" over all their problems and the unfairness of life.  Yet, through it all, the writer sees God, the maker of the universe!  He looks at the stars that twinkle at night, the sun that warms us during the day, the wind that cools our skin or warns us of impending storms,  the rain that replenishes the ground. None of these are by accident. They are all created by God, who cares for us...He gives us beauty, warmth, comfort, refreshment.

If you want to know if there is a god, if you want to know if there is a god up there caring for us, if you want to know there is a reason for you being here, look to the sky and behold His wonderful beauty and caring for us. 

Father,  thank you for loving us and showing that through creation. In Jesus' name I pray.  Amen
