God’s Marvelous Handiwork [part two]

In America we suffer from obesity, and guessing from the amount of weight loss books in Christian stores, and weight loss programs on Christian TV, I’d say that Christians have succumb to this failing, too. While there are many other issues involved in this problem, one of the biggest is a laziness that causes young and old to stay inside, glued to their electrical devices of entertainment instead of being outside, enjoying quality time together as families. When most people think of exercise they think of going to the gym. They think they’re too busy to go outside, but if you read this series, I think you’ll be persuaded that there are enough benefits of outside exercise to make it worth your time.


I personally really love the outdoors. It amazes me to think that God loved us enough to create a beautiful world for us to live in. 3-d vision, color, shapes; these are just some of the amazing gifts that God has given us to brighten our world. It’s sad that we take these gifts for granted. Think of the mountains. What practical use do they have? Yes, during spring the snow melts, giving us water to drink, but couldn’t God have provided another way to get water? Yes, but he didn’t. He loves us and he wants us to have something beautiful to see. Why did God make flowers so beautiful? Why didn’t he make them brown or black or grey? He did it because he loves us, and wants to give us good things.
