I’m not much of a traveler. I don’t like driving long distances. I prefer not to fly. And the thought of crossing a major body of water, climbing a mountain, or looking out on vast landscapes and structures gives me an unsettling feeling in my stomach.
It may seem irrational, but I just find it all overwhelming.
I face the ocean and there’s an endless wave of blue that melds into the sky. I scan a mountainous horizon and the peaks seem to touch the tallest heights. I look out onto expansive fields of green laying beneath a golden sun and it’s like heaven meeting earth.
Each scene makes me feel small. And delicate. Almost like they’re too much to take in.
But when I do, they change me.
They remind me that God is bigger than me.
“Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.” (Psalm 111:2)
To see the sheer magnitude of nature is to see God’s magnitude. It is to see creativity in epic proportions. It is to see something amazingly beautiful.
This is Day 12 of the series, 31 Days of Inspired Living. Join me through the month of October as I write about what I think it looks like to find the inspiration that makes us better. I’ll also offer some encouragement for your journey. In case you missed a day, you can find previous posts in the series here.
