Nature is God’s greatest evangelist.
From Romans 8:19: “For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God.”

Behold Our Creator
Photo by Matheus Bertelli on Pexels.com
From John 1.1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Before earth ever existed, God was here
There is only one God, He has no peers
Out of nothing— absolute darkness, vacant, and cold
God reaches out with His Word, astounding and bold
Remaining distinct from His eternal creation
God’s handiwork brings proud, lasting elation
God constructs with a purpose, the Heavens declare
His glory reveals absolute knowledge, nothing spared
Our sovereign, Holy God creates it all
Later, man will take a backwards fall
Creation arrives through God’s Holy prose
“Let there be”—He continues to propose
The Holy Trinity, God declares as Three in One
Faithful spirit sits beside God’s redeeming Son
Designing visible and invisible, God reigns here
The heavens and earth watch as God stays near
Working for six days, all appears good, very good
God feels proud of what He’s done, and He should
Following His purpose, His knowledge leads the way
The Glory of God creates with a Holy plan each day
God stands as author, at the center of reality
Without God, chaotic darkness makes a place
God’s people enjoy a bursting, creative taste
Worshipping God’s creation for all of eternity
From pastor John Piper: “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”

Pre-Dawn Splendor

Pre-dawn light slowly brightens the dark sky
Encouraging the night to salute its good-bye
Night’s closing remnants offer one concluding look
Winking back, crescent moon appears, like a hook
Crisp, cool air reposes its gentle hand
Rising sun will shortly warm the land
Morning dew moistens the grassy, green meadows
Frolicking rabbits chase each other in the shadows
Pungent odor permeates the pre-dawn air
Marking its territory, a skunk doesn’t care
Multitudes of birds announce the coming day
Sending out a chorus of joyful songs of praise
Deer graze in lush fields for a moment longer
Eating tender, green shoots to grow stronger
No human eyes have awakened quite yet
Sleeping in a cabin, seems like a sure bet
Nature wakes up to the arrival of summer daylight
Presenting God’s creation, with abundant delight
In what ways do you enjoy experiencing God’s awesome creation? If you desire more of my photography, which features much of nature’s beauty in Montana and Ohio, you will find it my Photo Gallery.
Nature’s Magnificence

Natural wonders stand in amazement each day
Praising God’s creation each step along the way
God’s magnificence forever amazes and astonishes
Leaving all people amazed with all that He promises
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef rests beneath the sea
Hosting a vastness of marine life for everyone to see
Africa’s Victoria Falls fills visitors with awe and wonder
Creating the unbelievable, “The Smoke That Thunders”
Asia’s Mount Everest stands high above the rest
Offering Sir Hillary and others a courageous test
Europe’s Black Forest welcomes Germany as its home
Hosting thick, dense evergreens, many and never alone

North America’s Grand Canyon divides the land
Carving through rock by the Colorado, like sand
Middle East lands reach below the level of the sea
Separating Israel and Jordan, the salty Dead Sea
Between America and Canada rumbles Niagara Falls
Consisting of three separate falls, many travelers call
New Zealanders appreciate a fiord, called Melford Sound
Offering rainforests, waterfalls, towering peaks to astound
Europeans travel to the Swiss and Italian Alps for enjoyment
Photographing the Matterhorn brings more for deployment
This poem writes about nature for a short review
Inspiring others to describe more of these views

Nature definitely shows off God’s vast and stunning creation. There is no doubt that this list could go on and on. For example, I left out Yellowstone National Park, which I have had the pleasure to visit a few times. Do you have any natural wonders to add to this list? If so, let’s have a conversation in the comments. Best wishes to all of you!
God’s Masterpiece
From Isaiah 65:17: “For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind.”

From the beginning of time
God’s creation changes each day
This eternal blueprint conveys mastery
His design takes center stage
His earthly canvas presents wonder
Artistic palette of colors astonish
His imaginative mind never ceases
Earth’s treasures continue to impress
Traveling around this awesome planet
Breathtaking venues await our call
Majestic mountains loom high above
Immense beauty reaches the clouds
Rolling plains shine with beauty
Grasslands thick with green tapestry
Swift rivers travel for months
Mountain-fed water reaches blue seas
Dense forests blanket the terrain
Trees of every description stand
Endless oceans bombard distant shores
Continuous tides frolic with beaches
Wide canyons stretch above rivers
Featuring amazing sculptures and hue
Desert sands infinitely scatter themselves
Continually sifting from God-inspired winds
Days launch with illuminating sunrises
Nights commence when the moon rises
God continues molding and shaping
Praise His incredible creation forevermore

Nocturnal Beauty
Photo by Egor Kamelev on Pexels.com
A magnificent oak tree stands center in a park
Waiting with quiet majesty in the solitary dark
The blackness of night only adds to the scene
Bringing tranquility and peace, free and clean
Trees with fruit blossoms, in full view even at night
Sending forth a fragrance, invigorating and right
Tiny green leaves are growing out on the tall trees
Waving from a gentle breath of the wind with ease
In the distance, glowing lights enhance a background
Providing a reverent atmosphere without any sound
A bit of shining moonlight fashions extra to see
Moving and playful shadows amongst the trees
Even at night, God’s creation sparkles all new
Painting for each evening, a breathtaking view
The eastern light rises to create the dawn
Crooning birds welcome a newborn fawn
The stillness begins to wake-up from its rest
Leaving its nocturnal beauty, always the best!
Nourishing Love

A beautiful garden planted in the spring with great love
Flowers and vegetables blessed with peace from above
Every detail carefully planned and tenderly done
All this fertile soil needs now is water and sun
The first few weeks bring excitement and growth
Green buds and a bit of color are amazing both
One week goes by without any tender loving care
The young, immature plants now seem a bit scared
I am thirsty for a drink, can’t you see!
Why have you forgotten all about me?
Another week passes along without feeling a human hand
The fragile plants begin a slow march back to the land
I am thirsty for a drink, can’t you see!
Why have you forgotten all about me?
A third week arrives with unhappiness and despair
The once promising garden can’t surely be repaired
I am thirsty for a drink, can’t you see!
Why have you forgotten all about me?
From high above comes His promise to bring rain
Soon a gentle, nourishing mist reduces the pain
Humans need to be fed from above by Him
We must ask Him gently like singing a hymn
Without loving care, the garden and people will perish
The Lord adores all of His creation with love to cherish
Let us never, ever wonder and say . . .
I am thirsty for a drink, can’t you see!
Why have you forgotten all about me?
To have little faith isn’t part of our day!
