A Message from Pastor Shelley

When I think of the wonderous work of God’s mighty hand, I am in awe of His handiwork! Have you taken a walk outside or sat on your porch and totally focused on God’s creation? While sitting there, did you find yourself quietly listening to the music of singing birds or focusing on the sound of a rustling breeze blowing through the trees? Have you gazed at the stars at night and thought about the vastness of the universe or sat on a beach and pondered the immensity of the ocean? If you have done any or all of these things, then you too have marveled at God’s handiwork. David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1). Did you know you and I are part of God’s handiwork? Not only did God create the heavens and the earth but He created you and me. Think about that for a moment and then think about this…., even the heavens marvel at God’s handiwork. Isn’t that amazing?!

So, the next time you sit on your porch or sit by the ocean, listen to the birds or the sound of a gentle breeze, meditate on God’s handiwork. Then take a moment to thank God for including you in His wondrous work. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). How amazing is that! We are considered God “workmanship.” WOW!!! If that does cause one to stand in awe of God’s mighty hand at work, I don’t know what would!

Blessings to you, God’s workmanship!

Lord, help us each day to mediate on the wondrous work of your mighty hand. Remind us that we are Your workmanship. Help us to focus our attention on You. May we too, declare Your glory and praise You for including us in Your handiwork. Amen!!!
