“I SING through My creation. And all My creation SINGS to Me. Pay attention, My People. You who have lived with My creation all your days. You look at the skies every day. You may look at lakes and rivers, or the ocean. You may look at mountains and hills. You may look at prairies and valleys. Look with fresh eyes, My People. Look through the eyes of the Creator of all. I see all. I see and hear every bird sing. I see and push every wave in the ocean. I pull the tides. I raise the sun and the moon. I hewed out mountains with My hand. I hollowed out the valleys. I make grass grow. I store up snow and send it forth as I choose. Mine are the days and Mine are the nights. Can you see My hand in these things every moment? Stop looking at creation as if it lives unto itself. As if it makes its own choices. Stop taking for granted, calling ‘coincidence’ that which I actively make happen in My creation moment to moment. When you look at the clouds, consider that in that moment I formed them to look that way. When you watch the sweep of incoming rain, see My hand in it. When you hear the birds, watch them fly and land, and fly off again – see My hand behind their every movement. My creation IS NOT coincidence. I speak to you through My creation constantly. Do you hear? Do you understand My hand in all of its movements? I have a whole world to open up to you, a thrilling, throbbing way for you to hear My Voice at all times – should you only pay attention. ALL My creation sings to Me. Sing with it! And My creation will cause you to wonder at the works of My hands in new and marvelous ways.
“Amen.”
