Beautiful Blessings

This devotion is from my daily devotion app:

For the LORD is the one who shaped the mountains, stirs up the winds, and reveals his thoughts to mankind. He turns the light of dawn into darkness and treads on the heights of the earth. The LORD God of Heaven's Armies is his name! (NLT) -Amos 4:13

If you haven't noticed lately, we are surrounded by beauty every day. From deep blue oceans to chipper birds full of songs, all of it was created by God for His glory. With all of the earth singing His praises, He still shares Himself with us and pursues us. Let's give glory to God for all of the blessings He bestowed on us.

Now i would like to add to this. I would like to encourage everyone to take at least 5-10min a day to just stop, go outside or look out a window and appreciate whatever you see: the height of the trees, the tops of the mountains, the little creek or shapes of the leaves. They each serve a purpose in our lives (oxygen, shelter, etc) that we so often take for granted. Take time to reflect on what God gave you.

I would like to encourage each of us to not only give glory and praise to the beauty He blessed us with on Earth through nature, but also by giving glory to the beauty He gave each one of us physically and emotionally. We all have beautiful, functional bodies regardless of our shape, size, color and handicap. We're alive because He gave us beautiful human bodies to inhabit! And He blessed us with beautiful, unique personalities! We are all so different and it's wonderful! Our differences balance each other, help us grow and make the world a much more wonderful and fun place! Praise God!!
