God’s Voice

Psalm 19: 1-4

“1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.  4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

Studies have shown that the average American spends less than five hours a week outside.  In fact,  to many Americans, nature is seen as threatening and something to be avoided.  We prefer to be in the manmade world rather than the creation of  God.

God gave us dominion over the natural world.  Through our dominion, we were to come to know Him; to deepen our relationship with Him; to become more like Him.  

Our disconnect with nature is causing a disconnect with God.  God uses nature to reveal Himself; to speak to us, and we are not looking or listening.

We are suffering spiritually from our disconnect with God.

Yet, the clouds are still in the skies.

The wind still blows through the trees.

The flowers still bloom in spring.

The birds still sing and fly away.

And the voice of God continues to call our name.

May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
