What a wildly wonderful world, God! You made it all, with Wisdom at your side, made earth overflow with your wonderful creations.” Psalm 104:24 [TM]

So many species of dragon fly to enjoy in our garden this summer. This one even posed for a photo shoot on its clothes-peg platform. A few days later I watched – totally distracting me from prayer – a woodpecker scurrying up a tree, then another & another in a hunt for breakfast bugs. I could go on…

In Genesis 1 we read how “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good”; a creation that reveals its Maker and invites our loving delight and care (Psalm 19:1-2; Romans 1:20).
How might you pause to delight in creation in your town, city, countryside or coastal setting this month? Keep your heart open to how God might reveal some aspect of Himself to you, or whisper an inspired word to your soul.

Is there another small step you can take to help care for and maintain this beautiful, life-giving world?
