In Awe: Creatures Above and Below

Growing up, one of my favorite rides in California was the submarine ride. It was exciting to "go under the water" and "explore the sea." Each time, I thought we were literally going into the deep waters. Diving and "exploring the wonders of the sea" ignited my imagination, as I genuinely believed we were embarking on a deep-sea expedition.

Fast-forward decades later, I have had the incredible opportunity to travel and experience scuba diving in the ocean. These experiences allowed me to immerse myself in the beauty of real underwater environments and unveil the vast wonders of God's creations beneath the water's surface.

I have discovered that God's artistry below the water is just as profound as above it. The beauty and intricacy of His handiwork remind me that there is so much more to explore and appreciate in both the sea and the sky. From the vibrant sea creatures that flourish in the oceans to the majestic birds that grace our skies, animals abound in every corner of the earth. Even more fascinating is that these incredible creatures were the recipients of God's very first blessing. He looked upon them, declared them good, empowered them to reproduce, and filled our planet with life.

Reflection Moment:

Take a moment out of your day today to connect with God by thanking Him for His creations. Look up at the sky and try to spot a bird soaring gracefully above you. Or plan a visit to the open ocean to witness the astonishing diversity of life beneath the surface. Each glance at these creatures serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the world God created.
