“To Him who made the heavens with skill, for His lovingkindness is
everlasting; To Him who spread out the earth above the waters, for His
lovingkindness is everlasting;” (Psalm 136:5-6)

Step back and think about
looking at all of creation as a whole. 
The magnitude of what God has created is in your view.  See the intricacy of what has been
created.  Be aware that we know very
little of the whole, what skill and intelligence is involved.  Understand that our Triune God made what He
made out of love.  He loves that which He
has made.  In love He knit the universe
together.

Lord, there are those around me who think they know.  They know much more than me, but they know a
very little of the whole.  Let me not
come to you in pride, but with awe and wonder at all that You have made.  Guide me in the goodness of Your grace to see
more clearly the truth of Your love which You have for all that You have
made.  Guide me through love to look at
the world You made and praise You for it.

Lord Jesus, You are in the love
relationship which is Trinity and You have come to invite those who believe to
join in.  Guide me, Lord Jesus, to come
on Your terms and in Your way to live into the life for which I have been
created.  Lead me, Lord, in the way of
truth that I may grow into Your likeness. 
May I be guided by Your Spirit this day to walk in the way You have
taught me, doing what is pleasing in the Father’s sight. Amen.
