-GOLDEN EAGLE~

-Psalm 145:1-7

I will meditate...
on Your wondrous
works. --Psalm 145:5 -

MY son Mark and I were leaving the Clyde Peterson Ranch in Wyoming to head back to Michigan. In the distance we spotted a huge bird sitting in a solitary tree overlooking a steep canyon. As we approached, the golden eagle leaped from the tree and soared out over the canyon, the golden streaks in its feathers shimmering in the morning sun. Its immense size and beauty filled us with wonder. We felt privileged to witness this magnificent demonstration of God's awesome creativity.

Creation displays God's "wondrous works" (Ps. 145:5). And when we stop to meditate on those works, we can't help but be awed as our minds and spirits are moved to reflect on the character of the God who created them.

That golden eagle told my son and me a story of the creative genius of our mighty God. So does the flitting songbird, the doe with her playful fawn, the pounding surf, and the delicate little flowers such as bachlor's-button and Spring beauty. In the most unexpected moments and out-of-the-way places the Lord shines His glory in this world in order to reveal Himself to us. Those serendipitous moments are opportunities to "meditate...on [His] wondrous works" (v.5)

This is my Father's world,
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
His hand to wonders wrought.
