I woke up with my window cracked and a breeze coming in. What a wonderful way to greet a new day. I brewed my daily cup of coffee, grabbed a bowl of cereal, and headed back to my bed to spend time with my Creator. I have been working my way through the Pslams and on this morning I read Pslam 145. I got to verse 16 and just sat and praised God. I said things like, "thank you for satisfying all my desires, for being all that I need, and for being my creator." At that moment a small bird landed on the part of our roof that I can see from my window. I sat and stared at it for a few minutes and it sat still enough to let me admire it. God said to me, "Don't forget about the rest of my creation. Don't forget about the birds. It is not just about you."
He caught me in a moment where I was making His word about just me. He caught me applying the words of the Psalms to just my own heart. He reminded me that He satisfies the desires of all of His creation and He will make all of His creation new. He fulfills the desires of the birds, the deer, the fish, and the giraffes. To say that He only fulfills my desires is to limit His love and His power. Yes, He does fulfill mine and He does so beautifully!!! Oh, but He does so much more than that. Praise Him for His never ending love and His incomprehensible passion for His creation.
"Behold, I am making all things new." Revelation 21:5
