This week's promise: We are created in His image
How much do you see God in his creation?
Have I looked at the sun shining in the skies, or the moon walking down its silver pathway, and been secretly enticed to worship them? If so, I should be punished by the judges, for it would mean I had denied the God of heaven.
Job 31:26-28 NLT
We understand the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.
Hebrews 11:3
Sunsets and chromosomes
A student stood on the crest of a hill silently admiring the sunset. As the colors came to a brilliant crescendo, he suddenly shouted, "Way to go, God. Fantastic!" Then he raised his hand in praise to the Creator.
Dr. Carl Sagan marveled that a single human chromosome contains 20 billion bits of information. This corresponds to four thousand 500-page books—and that's only one chromosome! Yet Dr. Sagan never professed any belief in God.
When it comes to praising God for his incredible work in creation, some of us are more like Dr. Sagan than the student. We are quick to condemn those who deny that God created the universe, yet we, too, often forget to praise him for all that he has made.
We praise God for salvation but forget to praise him for creation. Whether we look at the grandeur of the heavens or the intricacies of a chromosome, we should stand in awe of our Creator. Praise him today for his masterful work.

This is really good Chrissy and reminds me to praise Him in all things. I praise him for the work He is doing in Eva's little life and yours today and thanking him in advance for the wonderful plan He has in store just for your family. The pictures of Eva are just awesome and such a miracle. Prayers continue for you here and asking God to keep you safe.
Laurie in Ca.
Thanks.
