Creation is beautiful and awesome—
but what does that have to do with
me?
"Proclaim the power of God,
whose majesty is over Israel,
whose power is in the skies.
You are awesome, O God, in your
sanctuary;
The God of Israel gives power and
strength to his people.
Praise be to God!
—Psalm 68:34-35 niv
Do you pray for this power? …
The next time you are tempted
by the thought that the power you need
is just not there, think of the creation
and the power of God manifested in it—
in the stars, in the lightning, in the
earthquakes, in the hurricanes, in the
tornadoes—and remember that that
power, especially the power of Christ
raised from the dead, is God’s power
for you to draw on to overcome the sin
that remains.
—Mark D. Futato

Wonder of God, 37.
