Gods Footprints Bible in a Year: Genesis 49–50 Matthew 13:31–58 How many are your works, Lord! Psalm 104:24 Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 104:24–35 “I know where God lives,” our four-year-old grandson told my wife, Cari. “Where is that?” she asked, her curiosity piqued. “He lives in the woods beside your house,” he answered. When Cari told me about their conversation, she wondered what prompted his thinking. “I know,” I responded. “When we went for a walk in the woods during his last visit, I told him that even though we can’t see God, we can see the things He’s done.” “Do you see the footprints I’m making?” I had asked my grandson as we stepped through a sandy place by a river. “The animals and the trees and the river are like God’s footprints. We know that He’s been here because we can see the things He’s made.” The writer of Psalm 104 also pointed to the evidence for God in creation, exclaiming “How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures” (v. 24). The Hebrew word for wisdom found here is often used in the Bible to describe skillful craftsmanship. God’s handiwork in nature proclaims His presence and makes us want to praise Him. Psalm 104 begins and ends with the words: “Praise the Lord” (vv. 1, 35). From a baby’s hand to an eagle’s eye, our Creator’s artistry all around us speaks of His consummate skill. May we take it all in with wonder today—and praise Him for it! Reflect & Pray Where do you see God’s handiwork in creation? How might you point someone to it—and to Him—today? I praise You for all You’ve made, God! Help me to live in wonder at Your wisdom and goodness today.

It's easy for me to see the wonders of creation and know there is a Master's hand behind it all. What I have a hard time understanding is his love for us.... What is there about man, that God loves so much that when we became rebellious and sinful, instead of destroying all of mankind and starting over, He made a way for us to individually return to Him and be adopted back into His family? Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
