Who are you?

  

 I'm told in the scriptures that we will know you by the works of your hand - by creation.  So as I look around I ask -




Are you like the mountains 
beguiling my eye? 
With silver-clad peaks piercing the sky? 

Are you like those mountains - untouchably high?
 
Are you like the valleys 
catching the snow
            the keepers of water for life down below?
 
Are you like the valleys - with life giving flow?
 
Are you like the river which grows in its quest 
seaward and downward 
from east and from west?
Are you like the river - never at rest?
 
Are you like the flower, the grass and the tree,
green growing home for the bird and the bee?
Are you like them all - a haven for me?
 
Oh God of the mountain, the river and glade
Oh God of the raindrops, the sunshine and shade
Oh God of the flowers, the springtime and fall
Oh God of creation - are you like them all?
 
Too high to reach
Too deep to feel
Too grand to know if you are real.
 
But the scripture says,
Romans 1:20 (NIV) “ For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
 
So I know and I believe.

Love to hear from you -

Psalm 104

 Is winter a place - a dull, dim, cold place?  Can I open a door and walk into winter, or better yet, walk out of it?   How did this happen?...
