Through His Creation

Hello. When was the last time you took a walk?
I love to go on walks with my wife. I believe Laurel and I often have our best conversations when we go for a long walk, and it’s such a simple recipe for connection. We take our dogs, we choose a familiar path, we ignore our phones, we put one foot in front of the other and we talk. I love it!
Truthfully, our walks are a little different than other people’s. Laurel is legally blind and so when we walk, we have to stay connected physically and verbally. I have to watch for anything that may cause her to stumble and often have to say, “there is a step coming” or “step to the right, there’s mud.” I don’t mind it at all because I love serving my wife, but I have also noticed that I often get so focused looking down, that I forget to look up at the amazing world Jesus created for us. Another way that God speaks to us is through His creation!
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20 , NIV)
I don’t know about you but I love how majestic mountains can speak peace to my soul. I love how a slow-moving river can bring calm to my frantic heart. I love how a soaring eagle can call me into God’s presence. The key is, I have to stop, look and listen to experience God in His creation.
When was the last time you took a long walk and just listened to God speak to you through His creation? Do it today! Do it right now! He will speak to you, and your conversation with Him could be the start of a miracle! Don’t get stuck looking down at the path in front of you. Look up and see the majesty of God! If you are afraid you might stumble, remember God’s promise from Psalm 121:
“He will not let your foot slip — he who watches over you will not slumber, indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life, the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” (Psalms 121:3-8, NIV)
A friend recently asked me about walking with Laurel and if I ever got tired of seeing for two people. God spoke to me in that moment and I said, “The beauty is that I not only get to see God’s creation, but I also get to describe it to Laurel.” Laurel “sees” with her ears, and the things she shares with me about the sounds of God’s creation are amazing!
No matter your challenge today, God is speaking! Stop, look and listen. You will hear Him, and never forget…
You are a miracle!
Amen 🙏🏾

Thank You Grant for sharing your heart with us, your blessings with Laurel, and for reminding us of ALL of GOD’S CREATION! As I’m texting the Holy Spirit’s singing an older song of Laurel Daigle’s I love, “LOOK UP CHILD.”

Thank you Grant. I think and believe God wanted me to hear this. Help me Lord.
Amen. Thank you Heavenly Father.👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏽
Thank you Pastor Grant for such a beautiful, heartfelt message today 💛🌻 I always look forward to your messages because they always convey more 🙌🏻
Also, I do believe, truth be told, that we in fact do stumble over a rock or slip on uneven ground and it could just be a God wink to hush a minute and pay better attention to the beauty around us or really just breathe in the fresh air He has provided us with, whatever it is, it could just be simply to gain our attention…..but know that God is right there with us regardless.
Thank you Grant For the wonderful scripture this morning.God bless you. Thank you almighty God blessed be your holy name 🙌 🙏 ❤️
“Lift our sights above the shadows of earth that we may see the bright lights of Eternity. “
My father wrote this after God talked to him one night in a dream. He was walking with his older brother who had died the night of daddy’s dream.
AMEN ♥️🙏 Thank you LORD ♥️🙏
Thank you, Pastor Grant, for reminding me to take some time to experience God’s beatiful creation more regularly. I too find that it stimulates my talks with God. God bless you and your family.
