All Things New

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”

--Revelation 21:5-7

One morning, I got myself up before dawn to go walking. As tired feet climbed the steep sloping road, the sun climbed a steep horizon of hills, and I felt the Lord reinforcing something he's been speaking to me through his word, "All things are being made new."

It started a few weeks ago when my daughter asked me, "Does God still create?"

Out of the mouth of babes. She asks all the right questions.

“Yes, Honey, God is always creating.”

A seed is planted in the ground, God sends rain to water the earth, he commands the sun to rise each day, the seed takes root, a shoot comes up from the soil, a tree grows, flowers bud on the stems, and fruit erupts on the tree.

A baby is born every four seconds in the world. Life unfurls in the span of a breath.
