Enjoying the World God Made for Us

This week as we are thinking about being thankful may we take a few moments to take pleasure in God’s marvelous and incredible creation. 

Why did He (God) expend such immeasurable might of mind upon a world which is to be burned up but that He would fit it perfectly to be not the home but the school of His children?  The infinity of His skill is such that the most powerful intellects find a lifetime too short to penetrate a little way into a few secrets of some one small department of His working.

How kind we think it if a very talented friend spends a little of his thought and power of mind in teaching us or planning for us!  Have we been grateful for the infinite thought and wisdom which our Lord has expended upon us and our creation, preservation, and redemption?
