Take a Moment

Take a moment out of your day and just look around you
The trees and how they sway so big and old yet some new
And how the stream winds past and wistfully flowing away
And the different shadows cast as upon the grass they lay 

The birds that are in the sky each heading to a certain place
Some low, yet some so high but all are a show of His Grace
As the deer so swiftly turn about, but the tortoise doesn't fear
I just can't see how you can doubt something that is so clear

The fox isn't around as they all keep an eye out for the bear
As there goes the bloodhound and why the fox isn't in his lair
The grasshoppers jumping so high over a giant village of ants
Just the speed of that fly until upon a web six legs he plants

And His Glory's only just begun in setting us in the only place
His moon His stars and His sun surely you can see His Face
Yet so many still remain blind and just simply refuse to see
But it's in His Creation I find just a glimpse of His great Glory 

Jeremiah 9:6
 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit;
 through deceit they refuse to know me,
 saith the LORD.

Thank You Laura. I thank the Holy Spirit for my faith and the conviction He put upon my heart. The Lord so does love to hear our praise, so just and so deserved. And oh! how He so often and continuously responds. Take care and God Bless.
