*_God's Amazing Creation_*
By: *Dave Branon*
_What began as a simple spring nature walk turned into something special as my wife and I trekked along our hometown's Grand River. We noticed some familiar "friends" on a log in the rippling water—five or six large turtles basking in the sun. Sue and I smiled at the amazing sight of these reptiles, which we hadn't seen for many months. We were delighted that they were back, and we celebrated a moment of joy in God's magnificent creation._
_God took Job on quite a nature walk (see Job 38). The troubled man needed an answer from his Creator about his situation (v. 1). And what he saw on his journey with God through His creation provided the encouragement he needed._
_Imagine Job's amazement as God reminded him of His grand design of the world. Job got a firsthand explanation of the natural world: "Who laid its cornerstone—while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" (vv. 6–7). He got a geography lesson regarding God's imposed limitations of the seas (v. 11)._
_The Creator continued to inform Job about the light He created, snow He produces, and rain He provides to make things grow (vv. 19–28). Job even heard about the constellations from the One who flung them into space (vv. 31–32)._
_Finally, Job responded, "I know that you can do all things" (42:2). As we experience the natural world, may we stand in awe of our wise and wonderful Creator._
```Reflect & Pray```
_How can nature bring you closer to God? How does it remind you of His great creative power and love?❤️_
*_Dear God, thank You for creating such a magnificent, diverse, fascinating world. Help me to appreciate Your workmanship and realize that You're in control._*
