And observe all the words of His law. (Deut.28:58)
Dear God,
After the bright sunshine of 2 days, the rain came overnight telling us spring is not come, after all. We know it is coming, by the warmer days, here and there and the buds are coming on rose bushes and fruit trees. I give thanks for Your mighty work upon all creation and the knowledge that spring will certainly follow its promise. Therefore I praise You God of the heavens, and earth and all that is above, upon earth and beneath.
I meditate upon a portion of a song of Moses, given to the assembled Israelite’s. Deuteronomy 32:2 “Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers on the grass. This portion is a lovely word picture of early spring, gone are the thunderous rains of winter: and so Moses in gentleness speaks to the people.
The great men and prophets of God, also obtained spiritual lessons from nature, combined with communing with You there. I am ever grateful to live amongst the trees and bird songs. You come especially close in the setting of mighty trees, down to the minute flowers atop perky little grasses. Deuteronomy 32:3 “For I proclaim the name of the Lord. Ascribe greatness to our God.” Please God, out of our business, draw us back to Your created rock crested grandeur, and into tiny green retreats, for there we will find love for You, the God of all seasons and reasons, with the desire to worship You in humility. With my whole heart I say with Moses in Deuteronomy 32:4 “He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.”
God indeed created us in love, to love, and then sadly mankind listened to the lies of the Lucifer the fallen angel, now known as the devil, the father of lies, and after Adam and Eve, we have joined the devil as fallen into sin, human beings. Often our wrong actions require just judgement in truth from our wise all-knowing God. Job 34: 11 “For He repays man according to his work, and makes man to find a reward according to his way.”
God Your justice to all creation cannot be disputed, and Your forgiveness is profound and absolute. Once our prayer of sincere repentance ascends to Your ears, then Joy of Joys, our relationship with You is restored, and it is as if we had never sinned, for we again can communicate freely with You the God of Righteousness
