Awestruck


This picture was taken on a recent road trip down Highway 101, which travels, in almost its entirety, along the California coast. I was amazed by the detail, the serenity, the beauty, even in this secluded place, in a place not many will stop to look at. 

Every day, God reveals to me His amazing creations, and the mighty power and beauty He is responsible for. I am constantly in awe of what our God has created with His hands and the things He has made for us to enjoy. What truly gets to me is that God made all of this, all of the beaches, cliffs, canyons, rivers, oceans, everything that we associate with beauty, for us. He created this FOR us to appreciate, to love, and be in awe of. All of this was made with each and every one of us in mind. 

And the amount of detail God put into each and every thing He created is astounding. Every flower is handcrafted, every leaf on every tree, every drop in every ocean was made by God. Just like God knows every single hair on our head, He knows exactly when and where each wave will crash, which grains of sand that wave will pull back with it into the ocean, and how many inches up on to the shore that it will reach.

No matter where I go, I am reminded of the beauty of God's creations. Whether it be in my own backyard, driving down Highway 101, or in a child's smile, God is real and tangible in every aspect of our lives. We just have to look for it.
