You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful for comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard
Too wonderful for comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard
Who can touch your infinite wisdom
Who can fathom the depths of your love
You are beautiful beyond description
Majesty enthroned above
And I stand, I stand, in AWE of you
I stand, I stand, in AWE of you
Holy God to whom ALL praise is due
I stand in awe of you!!!
Words always fail me to describe the beauty of God's creation. I am often moved and struck by its mystical majesty. As I gazed at the green, scented pine trees; the great, rolling mountains; the bluest of the blue skies; the thick, white clouds below and/or above me- tears welled up in my eyes in wonder amazement and worship to the Creator of them all.
It slowly dawned on me why pagans were led to animism. And wondered if that feeling of praise and adoration that I felt at that exhilarated moment were the same feeling that pagans felt and yet in their ignorance led them to the object of creation rather than on the Creator Himself.
Seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and feeling God's beautiful creation was a taste of heaven. But this beautiful earth and all that is in it is doomed for destruction by fervent heat. It will happen in a twinkling of an eye with a great noise and everything will disappear in a moment of time. (2 Peter 3:10)
People- governments and environmentalists alike- are fussing a lot about "global warming". And awareness in saving the environment is slowly increasing as more and more evidence of a slowly degrading world is seen and felt. More people is fighting for this cause trying to save this world from destruction.
Sometimes, I'd like to just sit back and watch them fuss. I chuckle to myself knowing that no matter what they do, no matter how many people run for the green, no matter how many NSTP students plant trees, no matter how many companies segregate waste, no matter how many concerned citizens stand up for an environmentally-friendly practice and lifestyle- still this beautiful earth we all live in is doomed for destruction.
Not that I don't plant trees, run for the green, segregate waste, and practice living a healthy and environmentally-friendly lifestyle. It's just that as a Christian, we should be all the more busier working harder than ever for the cause of God's Kingdom for the night is at hand. The harvest is great but the laborers are few. (Matthew 9:37)
This earth is the Lord's and all that is in it. (Psalms 24:1). As a Christian, it is also our responsibility to be good and faithful stewards to ALL of whatever God has given us. (I Cor. 4:2) This good act will bring glory to the Father. (Matthew 5:16)
But as Christians, we should also be busier than ever for that higher, and holy calling. (2 Tim. 1:9) And what can be higher than the calling that Jesus commissioned to us on His last day on earth? (Matthew 28:18-20).
I left my footprints in our Cordillera adventure. But more so, God left His imprints of holiness, realness, and majesty in my soul. He revived my aching heart and called me once more to "Come closer, my child. You who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you for it is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11: 28-30)
