Picture of snow-covered trees in a
rural scene during the day.
God's world is too often covered up
by our own version of an environment. We create houses and
buildings and cover the land with roads, parking lots and many
tons of iron, glass and concrete. God created a living
world, a land rich in life and sounds and fragrances and
experiences that are all but alien to us. It is a terrible
loss for any human being to never know how an icy stream feels
to the bare feet, or what an eagle looks like up close (without
the bars and wire of a cage), or what a moose sounds like, or
what how many kinds of owls and bats and moths live in their own
region.
The earth is a beautiful place and
we all need to become acquainted with it. Seeing the
things made by God Himself helps us all to better understand His
ways. Along with daily reading and meditation of the
Scriptures, we should learn as much, and experience as much of
the creation as we can, to round out our understanding.
Jesus, for example, did not begin His public ministry until He
had spent time out in the wilderness. He fasted and was
tempted, but He also was away from the things of human origin,
out among the other creatures God has made.
