I recently read Steve DeWitt’s Eyes Wide Open: Enjoying God In Everything. I love the title, and I love the book. Here’s one of many things I enjoyed from the book, and we’ve added some photos and video to help you appreciate what he’s talking about.
I love the transcendence of great music. God, the Creator of Music, gifts His image bearers to praise Him, some knowing Him, some not.
Incredible photography in this video showing what goes on in the “small” world around us, a world of little creatures God created.
I love the beauty even of a fallen creation, and I always think, “What is it going to look like when it is a redeemed creation, on the New Earth?”
I also love time lapse photography and great music, both of which are in this 2.5 minute video
“O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.” Psalm 104:24
Yesterday we looked at reef fish. Today it’s turtles. Tomorrow I’m going to share an amazing ocean surprise God shared with me on our last day in Maui.
I think the following story (which we double-checked and appears to be true), along with the video, has particular significance for us as Christians. Before you watch the video and read the story, consider Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
A Christian I met in passing once told me it troubled him that he really didn’t long for Heaven. Instead, he yearned for an Earth that was like God meant it to be.
A number of worthwhile videos and articles have come to my attention lately, so I wanted to pass them on. If one of them connects with you, maybe you could leave a comment recommending it to others.
