Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Psalm 25:5
“The wider our contemplation of creation, the grander is our conception of God.”
Cyril (born Constantine) the Apostle to the Slavs (826–869).
Jenni and I fly from Vienna to Frankfurt to Denver today. We are thankful. God granted us fruitful ministry in Ukraine, Czechia, and Slovakia.
And over the course of 2+ weeks I have served with my dear friend and brother, Milan Hluchý. His expertise centers in the ecologization of agriculture and I work in the ecologization of ministry.
In plain terms, we understand God’s ordered design and help nurture that environment to foster fruitfulness.
He does it in vineyards and with crops and I do it with churches and ministries. We learned a lot from each other. But the biggest lesson for me linked to the “contemplation of creation” as Cyril put it.
The more we study the creation the more we understand the Creator.
And generosity comes into view because His care for creation is unfathomable. When we match it, we contribute to flourishing and fruitfulness. Is it time for you to get outside for some contemplation of creation?
