Summer is here! That means more time to be outside in the warm sunshine enjoying everything God made. Maybe you’ll hike up a trail, splash in a lake, or visit a giant waterfall. But here’s a secret: you don’t have to go somewhere fancy to see God’s amazing work.

Even a walk down your own street can show you incredible things if you really look. Bright flowers pushing up through the grass. Puffy clouds drifting across the sky. Birds chirping their little songs. A cool breeze on your face. God made every single bit of it!

The Bible says that God’s power and greatness can actually be seen in the things He made (Romans 1:20). It’s like creation is a giant sign pointing up and shouting, “There’s a wonderful God who made all of this!”

And here’s the best part: the same God who carefully designed every flower petal and every bird’s feather also made you. And here’s the best BEST part: He cares about you even more than all of those things. If God takes such good care of His great big outdoors, you can be sure He’ll take good care of you too.

Take Action: This weekend, go on a “God Made That!” walk. Head outside with a parent and try to spot ten things God made: flowers, bugs, trees, clouds, birds, rocks, anything! Each time you find one, say a quick “Thank You God for making that!” When you’re done, remember: the God who made all those amazing things made you too, and He loves you most of all.
