Master of the universe, the things you have created are mystifying.
We can see you in everything we encounter.
We look at a leaf, and wonder at the ways the thin layers of cells can produce food and the mazelike veins carry that back in order to feed the entire plant. It takes so many leaves doing their own small part to feed the entire tree, and somehow, even huge trees like redwoods have enough food to live, just as the sapling does.
Then, we look at the order of the universe. It is too large to even see across. To think that we can only see a finite distance in one direction, thirteen billion light years, but that there is no reason to think that the universe stops at those boundaries… It is unimaginable the infinite size of space.
And all of it, from the individual atom or the individual components of an atom to the overwhelming vastness of the universe, is fully under your dominion. You created them all, you ordered them all, in your ways, which are unfathomable to humans.
Lord, You are so wonderful to love and regard all these things that are yours. May we always remember the incredibleness of your majesty, while still knowing that you love us as your children.
Amen.
