“God who made all things, the earth, the air, the sky; Who gave the light its birth, cares for me…” *
But gladly I can thank and praise You O God, for making many like me to share all that you have created. I rejoice with my brothers and sisters.
Life is not always pleasant because the first people made a mess of their lives by disobeying You!
Thank you for so kindly sending the Lord Jesus Christ to deliver us from the penalty due to all of us for our rebellion.
Now “when life’s clouds come on” * we can be assured that when we pray and trust in You, our lives will be better because our future is not in our hands, nor is our meaning left to chance, but instead, we all together have a place of work in the creation You made for us to look after it, and to use it to Your glory. Amen.
