Having
a relationship with God is an awesome and powerful experience. We can find so
many ways to experience our faith and we can connect with our Father in so many
unique ways. One of which is through nature. Being in nature reveals to us the
extraordinary universe that God has created. I always feel so relaxed and
peaceful when I am surrounded by nature. Especially, when I go on boat rides, go
running, and hiking. Nature brings praise to God:
"Praise
the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his
angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon, praise
him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters
above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and
they were created. He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree
that will never pass away." (Esv Bible, Psalm. 148.1-6).
Since an almost deadly experience
this past summer, I have realized more how precious life is, and so being in
nature continues to remind me of God's love and beauty. It is hard to describe
the peace or the connection that you feel in nature until you witness that
beautiful sunrise over the horizon or witness a beautiful view at the top of a
mountain.
