God’s Great Creations!
"Then He who sat on the throne said,
“Behold, I make all things new.”
Revelation 21: 5
Pulitzer Prize winning American author Wallace Stegner is
credited with observing that: “National Parks are America’s
best idea.” Filmmaker Ken Burns included that sentiment in
the title of his twelve-hour documentary series on America’s
national parks.
America’s 62 national parks are natural jewels in the nation’s
landscape. Yellowstone National Park was the very first (1872),
with all its geysers and hot springs showing off their power
like
clockwork. But Yosemite National Park may be the grandest,
with its towering rock faces and plunging waterfalls. It’s hard
to imagine anything better.
And yet something grander, more beautiful, and more exciting
is coming. God’s plan for planet earth is not done. It was God
Himself who said of the heavens and the earth, “I will make
all things new.”
At the end of this earthly age, God will remake His original
creation by renovating the earth to provide an eternal home
for His forever family—those redeemed from sin through
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
As the saying goes, “You haven’t seen anything yet!”
Enjoy the beauty of the earth today, but get ready—
the best is yet to come.
"Wisdom opens the eyes both to the glories
of heaven and to the hollowness of earth."
J. A. Motyer
