The World is a Poem


The world is a poem

A Song

A masterpiece

Every piece strategically placed

Every brush stroke intentional

Every word spoken with purpose

There are no mistakes

No accidents

No coincidences


God is not merely a scientist

Not simply a teacher or a judge

He is an artist

His heart is revealed in the beauty of creation

He set the world in motion

Not as some divine experiment

Not as a way to exert His destructive power

But as a work of beautiful mastery

Something to care for

Something to love


The mystery of God’s presence

The wonder of who He is

Can be found in the delicate nature of a flower

In the mighty power of a thunderstorm

In the song of a bird passing by

In the first cry of a child

In the gentle curl of her hair

As she teaches her children how to play

In the strength of his generous hands

As he hugs his kids

In the stories of a long life

From journeys across the world


The earth is His

And it is all filled with His wonder

Nothing is an accident

Nothing misplaced

It is all written as a never ending sequel

Of the greatest story over told

His story is our story

We are one with Him

He will never leave us or forsake us

And even when we try to run

Even when we spit in His face

And defile His creation

As the divine artist He is

He always finds a way to make it beautiful

It’s just what He does
