Spiritual Practice
Exploring God’s Universe
Try one of these ways to experience God in nature:
- Plant a flower and watch it grow. Become a partner in God’s creative process.
- Savor the gentle breeze that cools you on a hot day. Think of it as God’s breath refreshing the earth.
- Bite into a juicy peach; remember its source.
- Cuddle your pet. Thank God for the gift of special animals.
- Observe the work ethic of an ant. Read Proverbs 6:6-11 for further enlightenment.
- Read in scripture about God’s creativity in nature: Psalm 147:4-18, Jeremiah 10:12-13, and Acts 14:17.
