Devotions

Why did you do that?

Why did you do that Lord? Why did you choose the water to be blue and the trees to be green. Why did you choose the glorious yellows, reds and pinks to be what creates a stunning sunset? Why did you make fresh mown grass to smell so sweet and after the rain the air is beyond delicious. Why did you make puppies to be adorable and babies unresistably kissable? Why did you make the dew in the morning grass wet and the sap from a tree so sticky? Why did you create chemicals that linked together would be a beautiful array of color in the sky that pulls the oohs and ahs from all who look into the dark night sky? Why? Why do I cry? Why do I laugh? And why sometimes at things that seem so foolish to my heart? Why is there peace in my world and raging wars in another’s? Why me? Why them? Why? Why not? How come? Who’s fault? What now? Why here? When if not now? I have questions. I know God has answers but the answer without understanding are just words on a page. My prayer focus for the day says, ” thou art worthy of an adoration greater than my dull heart can yield. ” Why? Why can’t my worship be so incredible that we both take a step back? Why can’t I understand when you say ‘not now’ and say, ” I get it Lord” And I will sit here a spell till it’s time. I want to have worship worthy of the incredible beauty I see around me. I want to get it. I want to sense the answer as I ask the question not years later finally go “duh”. But till then my whys and feeble attempts to worship will be encircled by the beauty of God everywhere I look. And why did God allow men to create saws and wood and windows that combined together make an awesome sunroom that I can be in the midst of so I don’t get bit by mosquitos while I ponder Gods creation… and why God? Why mosquitos?
