Unfathomable Beauty

I was riding home on the bus from a track meet last night and the world couldn't get any more perfect.
God's glory surrounds us everywhere.  It's undeniable that something as complex as the earth must have an intelligent designer.  How can people look around at the world and say there is no God?  Evidence of His existence is everywhere.
The sun rises and sets in complete and utter beauty.
The waves on the ocean roll in and out with ease.  They never fail.
The seasons change and the world still spins.
We are alive by the grace of God.  How can some people not realize what an amazing creator He is?  And how merciful He is that He allowed us to live and His son to die?
My track team went to the beach to eat dinner after our meet and the vastness of the sea still has me in awe.
The bible says that God's voice is like rolling thunder.  What power He has that He holds the whole world in His hands.  It makes me feel so small and insignificant.
The waves crashing onto rocks is quite the display of strength and power, but God made those waves.  He gave them that strength.  Can you imagine how much more power God has?  How much more strength?
It amazes me that God loves us so much that He created the earth for us to enjoy.  When we fell into sin, He still loved us, and promised us a deliverer.  His own son came to earth in the form of a humble child to grow up like a normal man and to spread the word of God's love.  Eventually, He was put on a cross and killed.  The sins of the world were placed on his shoulders and in that moment, God saw His chosen ones as blameless.  He saw His people without sin.  He saw them as He saw Jesus.  He saw them as Perfect.
What an amazing God we have to worship that He sacrificed His own son for a sinful people so that they might be drawn to Him.  What love.  What beauty.  What indescribable grace.
