Promise for Today - In Awe of Our Creator

NOTE: For the rest of November, I will share Thanksgiving moments written by other authors.
Today's devotional was written by Jordyn Juarez.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8:1-4

When we pause long enough to look at the world around us – the stars scattered across the night sky, the rhythm of the ocean, the beauty in a sunrise – it is easy to feel small. David felt that too. He looked at God’s breathtaking creation and was amazed that the same God who spoke the universe into being knows and cares for us personally. This psalm is a reminder to slow down and be thankful for who God is and what He has done.

Gratitude grows when we recognize His greatness and our place in His story. We are not forgotten or overlooked; we are deeply loved by the Creator of everything. That truth should fill our hearts with worship and wonder.

When we choose to notice God’s majesty in creation, our worries shrink, and our praise grows. Gratitude begins with awe – seeing God for who He is and remembering that He has chosen to see us, too.

When was the last time we slowed down to notice God’s glory in creation? How can awe lead us into deeper gratitude today?

Prayer:

Lord, 

        Your Name is majestic, and Your creation declares Your glory. Thank You for loving us, seeing us, and inviting us into Your care. Fill our hearts with wonder and thankfulness as we remember who You are. Amen.
