Creation Sings His Glory! W r i tt e n
As this strange year continues, I’m amazed at how our themes for the year – chosen last year – bring with them messages that are incredibly relevant for the time we’re living in. We started off 2020 with HOPE. Little did we know how needed true understanding and adoption of Biblical hope would be as 2020 brought with it so many unexpected twists and turns. After that we explored JOY. Experiencing joy in hardship is extremely difficult yet possible as God’s light shines upon us and gives us the faith and courage to continue walking forwards. More recently we discussed GRACE. This was probably one of the most challenging and powerful themes for me, and God used this opportunity to teach me about His grace towards me in every facet. I’ve realised that this unmerited favour of God, once realised, spills over to those around us. And that the world is longing for it!

and August and we’re welcoming the theme of CELEBRATING CREATION. I, for one, absolutely love being outdoors, exploring nature. I feel God’s presence breathed in everything He created (Job 12:710) – the magnificent mountains, the crashing seas, the bright shining night sky, the gale force winds. All so wondrous and so affirming of my belief and faith in God. Evidence in Creation
There are many scriptures (Romans 1:20, Psalm 95:4-5, Psalm 96:11-12) that praise God through creation or bring glory to Him through all that is seen on Earth. When my mind plays through some of the beautiful images I’ve seen online of the world, I’m left astounded at how all of it can exist. How we are able to behold those beautiful sights. I’m not sure what your take is on evolution and how the world came into being. I’m certainly not sure of exactly how it all unfolded, but what I truly believe Now we’re looking forwards to July is that God spoke and breathed it 07
