Every generation we learn more and more about the complexities if life on earth. Even the creation of the eye ball is magnificent. Eyesight is an absolute miracle. The same is true for child birth. When we look at the natural creation, trees, wildlife, and the rest, it is hard to not marvel at the creator.<\/p>\n<p>Surely, the creator is a master crafts-man. If even a single thing in our planet was out of sync we would cease to exist. But God keeps everything in sync. He holds all things together. Nothing is overlooked. It is no wonder that the psalmist wrote such a psalm 104, declaring His greatness.<\/p>\n<p>Each new day, take a look around you and bask on God&#8217;s beautiful creation and know that YOU are the crowning jewel of that creation. You are the apple of God&#8217;s eye.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[Featured image from <a href=\"http:\/\/propertyof-jesus.tumblr.com\/post\/51646294517\/yyaarraa25-psalm-10433\">propertyof-jesus.tumblr.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture Reading(s) Psalm 104:24-34, 35b 104:24 O LORD, how manifold are your works!
