Forever Praised

Romans 1:25 "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen."

Man. How often do we serve created things over the Creator? This was written to people who knew God, but didn't glorify Him or give thanks to Him. I feel like so often I'm guilty of not bringing Him glory or not remembering to thank Him. Are we so consumed with ourselves that we forget the One who is forever praised? My answer: yes.

This semester has been a frustrating one for me - I always seem to be busy doing things that don't really have any value or significance. Yet I find my mind going over and over these things and making one to-do list after the next...all for what? Well, this past weekend was my first weekend "off" this semester and it was glorious. Saturday I read and worked in the sun. I went rock-climbing with a few people from FBCO (well minus the rock-climbing part) Sunday after church. But I spent time with the Creator delighting in His creation for the first time in a while. The weather was absolutely perfect...but it wasn't the best part. Being still. Being in His presence. Being reminded of His glory. Seeing the works of His hands. Let me tell you what sums it up - PSALM 19. Stop reading this and check it out. Seriously, do it now :)
