Infinite imagination

Genesis 1: 20-23

​And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”  So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”  And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

​And God said, ‘Let the water teem with living creatures, and let the birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.’

God, our Creator, 

I praise you for this wonderful world.

 

I watch the gulls

hanging in the air

swinging in the wind

and long for that faith

to move with the Spirit

soaring on the thermals,

looking down

on all that seems too big for me

and to see it

from Your viewpoint.

 

I watch the images of sea creatures

with colours and shapes

with shells and fins

clinging to rocks

leaping through the waves

clambering over rocks

lurking in the ocean depths,

and I marvel at the infinite imagination

of our Creator God,

inviting me beyond the frontiers of the seen

to the infinite possibilities of the unseen.

God, our Creator, 

I praise you for this wonderful world. 

AMEN
