And He is startlingly beautiful. This beauty is splashed and splattered all over the world He's made. We see His beauty in dark green evergreens and golden pink sunsets. We see His beauty in powerful waves and still oceans and blue skies and dry deserts. We see it in waterfalls and mud holes and puddles and snowflakes. We see it in hurricanes and blades of grass, spring flowers and autumn leaves.
God's creativity is also displayed on His earth. We see it in the seasons, as the colors and temperatures change and blend together. We see it in unique physical landmarks - like Badab-e-Surt in Iran, the Tianzi Mountains in China, Spotted Lake in British Columbia, and The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. Google some images and marvel.
God's grace is displayed on His earth. He has made all the conditions perfect for life. If the temperature of the sun was a fraction of a degree off, or the gases in the air just slightly different, or the earth's crust an inch or two thicker (or thinner), everything would be wrong. But God's world was created exactly the way He wanted it, and He made it to sustain our lives. Oxygen is God's grace. Life is God's grace.
So it's Earth Day. Great. Take some time today and really appreciate the earth. But don't worship it. Worship the earth's creator.
