“Who gives food to all flesh, for His lovingkindness is
everlasting.  Give thanks to the God of
heaven, for His lovingkindness is everlasting.” 
(Psalm 136:25-26)

The world has teemed with life
from the beginning. All of God’s creatures are provided for and they live.  Marvel at how the world is balanced.  Despite the sensationalism you hear day by
day, see that the Lord provides for all that He has made.  See things for what they are and rejoice in
the Lord God who made them all.  Give
thanks for His goodness.

Lord, I listen to what liars in this world say, and I believe them and
I’m led astray.  Guide me into truth that
I would not deny what I see with my own eyes. 
Lead me to marvel at all that You have created knowing that only in You
is there hope and a future.  Lead me, O
Lord, that I may abide in Your truth now and forever.  Teach me to rejoice in Your goodness and
mercy always.

Lord Jesus, You have come not to
condemn the world, but to lead as many as would walk with You humbly into the
life for which we were created.  Guide me
this day, O Lord, that I would walk forever in Your grace, knowing that by Your
hand You will make all things new.  Lift
me up into Your presence that I would humbly abide in You as one of Your own
creations.  Amen.
