Dear Ploughboy,
Please forgive me but I'm not sure I understand why you've written what you have?
It's quite late, and I can't see what's wrong in going for a walk to view Gods creation?
Did you dislike the reference to the Carol?
Remember
New American Standard Bible
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
And now concerning; this question regarding to "View Gods creation". Do you mean this one? describe below? The one that is in Pain and suffering!
(Romans 8)NIV.
18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
19For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
21that
h the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
And we must Remember our view of "creation" is so much different from The Song writters of "The Psalms". There was a veil upon their eyes, but that veill was removed from our eyes and done away in Christ and our eyes were open, the day when we became a "New Creature", "Born of God" and not of The flesh.
When we look at This creation, you see the pain and suffering, The ainmals, the trees, the flowers, every thing in this creation is in suffering and pain, even the very rocks cry out in pain.
The Hawk attacks the bird, The Lamb has to run from the Wolf,
We are the "True Children of GOD" we are different, we think different, we understand Different. We meditate different. we observe different. And we are Commanded to not love this world and everything in it! "The Deceiver" always has a "but" God did not mean that.
This world was design to be destroyed by "GOD himself" from the foundations of The Cosmos. It was design for a purposed and It will accomplish for which it was made. And when the dust has settled, "The clouds of HIS feet"! Yes LORD what a day that will be!
You see, "all things work together for the Good to those who love God
to those who are called according to His purpose."
Now do you understand why and what We all have written that we all are reminded of The purpose of GOD!
For we are assemble together for such purposes.
(Hebrews 10)
23We must continue to hold firmly to our declaration of faith. The one who made the promise is faithful.
24We must also consider how to encourage each other to show love and to do good things.
25We should not stop gathering together with other believers, as some of you are doing. Instead, we must continue to encourage each other even more as we see the day of the Lord coming.
Such fellowship as this helps us keeps us from
"straying" away! There is a Lot of "Spandex" running around out there! There is noting wrong with running, but you should not run in a "Herd of Spandex", If you run you must run "FROM" and not To"
New American Standard 1977
Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
Yoga pants was design for you, and Satan knows what you like! The Bible says: "Flee" it is a new day in the neighborhood, and he knows His days are short! Even Grandma is wearing "YOGA" pants and looking good too! now "TalkJesus" is the truth channel! So please do not grow horns for what i have just said. "Although I might be old, I ain't dead" and there is nothing wrong with my vision! that is why I keep my "happy" self in the house. Keep my thoughts clear!
[After "Sarah" died, Abraham Got another wife name "Keturah" and had 6 more kids]
I do hope this post has enlighten someone and it has harm no one whatsoever.
But i do hope it will produce such a "meditation in The Word of GOD" that might produce and bear fruit, and may God prune you to produce more and much fruit that is pleasing in His eyes, and not the worlds.
