Genesis 1:1-19, Ps.104, Mark 6:53-56

Our Earth

We live surrounded by beauty. Even here in Christchurch, where so much is broken and destroyed, wildflowers bloom in the rubble. The trees stand green and stately. The mountains and the hills remain and the sun shines brightly. Surely all this intricate beauty points to a creator. To believe it all evolved by chance requires a much blinder faith than I am capable of!

Today let’s take a little time to appreciate our wonderful earth, to enjoy the beauty, and to give thanks to God, the giver and creator of it all.
