It was very good
Bible Reading: Genesis 1
The world we live in is just beautiful. I have travelled around the world, and I have been in awe of God's creation. I can only imagine how the world was the day that the Lord God finish His masterwork. God's grace is expressed throughout creation. Recently, a lady in our church post a photo of the most stunning rainbow that we could imagine.
God acknowledged the goodness of the earth. "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31).
It should not be a surprise because the creation talks about the Creator. King David wrote about it on the Psalms, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands" (Psalms 19:1).
A joyful heart recognises God's goodness and the beauty around us. We are always tempted to see the negative side of things. I think it is because we are overwhelmed by 24-hour negative information. It is hard to see God's goodness and mercy. It feels we are unable to look beyond the gloom.
It takes an effort to see the good around us. Although it takes discipline to take a step forward and recognise God's beauty and goodness all around us, it is worthy.
Today, decide to count your blessings. Write down no fewer than three things that you are grateful. God for a walk outside, and look at God's creation. Talk to God as you walk and allow God to talk back to you.
