The whole earth is full of His glory. Sky, land, and sea, heavy and saturated with God - why do I always forget?
The whole earth is full of His glory. Sky, land, and sea, heavy and saturated with God - why do I always forget?
Ann Voskamp, a renowned Christian author and speaker, often reflects on the beauty and majesty of God's creation in her writings. In her book "One Thousand Gifts," she encourages readers to cultivate a spirit of gratitude by recognizing and appreciating the countless blessings that surround them every day. Voskamp's poetic prose and deep spiritual insights invite readers to see the world through a lens of wonder and awe, recognizing that the whole earth is indeed full of God's glory."The whole earth is full of His glory. Sky, land, and sea, heavy and saturated with God - why do I always forget?" This poignant question captures the essence of Voskamp's message - that despite the overwhelming evidence of God's presence and power in the world around us, we often fail to see or acknowledge it. We get caught up in the busyness and distractions of life, allowing our minds to be consumed by worries, fears, and doubts. We forget to pause, to breathe, to look up and marvel at the beauty of creation that surrounds us.
Voskamp reminds us that God's glory is not confined to church buildings or sacred spaces - it is everywhere, in every blade of grass, every whisper of the wind, every ray of sunlight. The sky, the land, the sea - all of creation bears witness to the majesty and splendor of God. When we open our eyes and our hearts to this reality, we cannot help but be filled with a sense of wonder and gratitude.
So why do we forget? Perhaps it is because we are human, prone to forgetfulness and distraction. Perhaps it is because we live in a world that bombards us with noise and chaos, making it difficult to hear the still, small voice of God. But Voskamp's message is one of hope and encouragement - that even in the midst of our forgetfulness, God's glory continues to shine brightly, waiting for us to notice and be amazed. Let us take a moment today to pause, to look around, and to remember that the whole earth is full of His glory.
