While eating my apple today, with every bite I took, juice went streaming down my arm. Yes, it was very juicy which made it quite sticky, and messy. But, as I wiped the juice off my arm, I looked at my apple with earnest. And started thinking how amazing this apple that God had created was. Something so delicious and packed with so much nutrition; It's design, shape and form.
Then I started thinking about God's other 'candies', Oranges, Pears, Plumbs, Banana's you name it! How amazing and wonderful they are! Only God can create something so magnificent as just an apple. No one can duplicate or recreate something so wonderful. You can plant a seed, but it won't grow without God's help. Not in our wildest dreams. How great our God is!
The simplicity and beauty He has made. From the thought of any apple it led to vegetables, and creation in itself. None of this could possibly happen just "by chance".
It may seem like simple logic; But ever take a minute to think about these things? How the juice of an apple could take captive of my wandering thoughts. Healthy snack turned into deep thinking. Sometimes I just take things for granted without even thanking our heavenly father for, forgetting the one who made them.
Thank-You Jesus. <3
