Created with care – Stella Ramola
“It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.” (Psalm 19:6)
Dear friend, today’s word for meditation is from Psalm 19:6, “It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.” Yes, my friend, the entire Psalm 19 talks about the creation of God. So when I was thinking about the creation of God, I was amazed looking at the stars of the sky, the sun and the moon. The fish, animals and birds were also amazing.
How the tress sway and the wind feels in our face! So when I looked at the creation, I was wonderstruck at the work of God’s hands. Even in our house, there is a small nest that a bird created. The bird had laid its eggs in the nest. When the eggs hatched, tiny birds came out and when it was time for the birds to fly, the mother bird pushed its little ones out of the net. It did that so that the little birds would learn to spread its wings and fly.
So when we see these birds we see that that’s their nature. That’s what it does. We also see in the Bible how God cares for these birds. We see that God feeds these birds as in Matthew 6:26, “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” If He is so concerned about these birds how much more valuable are we? These birds were created by just the word of God. But we were formed by God in the image of God. We are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. Today, you might say, “My life has no meaning. I have no purpose. I feel empty in my heart.” But dear friend, you were created for a purpose- to have a relationship with Jesus. He will meet all your needs and care for you. Call out to Him today.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Thank You for this wonderful promise. Show me Your purpose for my life. Meet my needs just as You care for the birds. Speak to me and be close to me. Show me how precious I am to You. Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
