God's Perfect Creation

I woke up late this morning and I was reminded of the perfect practicality of God's creation and the utter stupidity of man's reaction.  Does that seem like a strange connection?

Once awake, I went outside and looked toward the heavens.   I was amazed by the beauty of the stars, with the full moon just dipping below the horizon.  I thought about the perfect alignment of the planets, how Jupiter's large mass deflects meteors from Earth. 

I thought about how Earth's distance from the sun is perfectly designed to support life, how the angle of our axis is perfectly set to maximize the sun's energy, how the elliptical nature of our orbit allows for a wonderful change of seasons. 

I even thought of how the pattern of daylight changes by two or three minutes a day, and how perfectly God planned our bodies to adjust to that daylight change incrementally. 

And then I thought about the stupidity of suddenly and abruptly setting the clocks ahead an hour, which is the real reason I woke up 'late'.  The contrast between the beauty of God's creation and the stupidity of man's reaction never seemed clearer. 

Let's be more like God.

Focus Scripture: Yours is the day, Yours also is the night; You have prepared the light and the sun.  You have established all the boundaries of the earth; You have made summer and winter.  Remember this, O Lord, that the enemy has reviled, and a foolish people has spurned Your name.’  Psalm 74:16-18.
