On Wednesday I read this verse in Psalms ". . . the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord" ~ Psalm 32:5, and it made me stop and think.
Immediately I thought of the creation of the earth and images from the Hubble Telescope.
I never tire of seeing them.
Even though I can't see them at night doesn't mean they aren't there. It is comforting to me to think of images like these images blanketing our earth.
Then I thought of all the little beautiful things in life that I can see -- things like spider webs and blooms -- but are easily missed if I'm not paying attention. Pictures I had used in earlier blog posts came to mind so I went and looked at them again.
By the time I was finished thinking about Psalm 32:5, I had created this little video of pictures from our backyard and neighbors' fields. I hope you enjoy it:
When Ande was a little girl, she often left me pictures with a few soda crackers or chocolate chips or a dandelion on my pillow. They were evidence of her love for me.
There is incredible beauty in the detailed simplicity of the Lord's creations. It's especially noticeable in the picture with the bee. The symmetry and design in the center of the flower is so precise and calculated . . . each flower created gets that kind of detail.
These simple scenes that are in your backyard and mine, make it abundantly clear that " . . . the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord."
And to think He left them as new reminders, as fresh as every day, that we are loved and wanted and missed makes me feel very safe and secure.
". . . the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord." ~Psalm 32:5
