I don't know about your God but my God...He's AMAZING! Look at the works of His hands!
"A water lily carpeted pond edges Grayling Lake Trail, north of Seward, Alaska. One of the lakes along the trail abounds in grayling, surface feeders with long dorsal fins."

"Mushroom cloud of stone erupts in the Ténéré desert, remnant of its watery past. This pedestal rock began as a mass of pebbly sandstone. Its sculptors were cycles of hot and cold, wet and dry, as well as blowing sand, which caused the sloughing off of shards scattered at the base."

This lonely mangrove clings to the earth with its massive roots. Cape York Peninsula is a land of extremes—scorched in one season and sodden in the next. Five months of monsoon rains causes rivers to burst their banks, then they evaporate during seven months of withering drought.

Fed by the 100-plus inches (254 centimeters) of rain per year that fall in Olympic National Park, evergreen trees rise above the fog that fills this Olympic Mountain's valley.

Home to a variety of animals, including kangaroos and wallabies, the rock basin known as Wilpena Pound was carved from ancient mountains by erosion. The high walls of rock are made of weather-resistant quartzite.

About 74,000 years ago, a volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself on Sumatra. The resulting crater later filled with water and became known as Lake Toba (pictured).

You who made the mountains and the sea
Measured out the universe and You made me
Echoes of the voice that called the worlds to be
Reach through the ages and now speak to me
You’re my creator king
You who made the valleys and the skies
Displayed Your love on far horizons and before my eyes
You who lit the stars and set the dawn in time
Called them all by name and now You whisper mine
You’re my creator king
Who am I that You are mindful of me
Who am I that You set Your love on me
You’re my creator king
You who made the darkness and the light
Sun and moon to watch the day and guard the night
The hand that stretched the heavens like a canopy
Reached down to cover and watch over me
You’re my creator king
Don't expect me to believe that it's pure coincidence that all these beautiful, glorious nature are made after a big bang. God is always at work. Managing His creation, making sure that nature 'works'. For who? For the people He love. For God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Who taught the sun where to rise in the morning?
God of the universe, forgive me for times I've forgotten how great You really are. Thank You for Your great love.
