It seems like spring is finally here. I was sitting on my bike this past Sunday, just feeling the warmth, when it dawned on me how long of a winter it has been.
When the weather is pleasant, I notice the sky more. The brilliant blue, or the evening sun setting. It's easy to get so caught up in all that beauty that we miss the message.
Reading Psalm 19 today,
"The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world." - Psalm 19:-4 (NLT)
There will be many more days now to get out and ride. As bikers, we can appreciate the nature around us in a way that the other vehicles cannot.
The creation reflects the beauty of the creator. This season, let's take those moments not only to admire the beauty, but to listen for the message.
