Sue Thomas Ministries will be having a booth at this free one-day event on Saturday the 7th of October. Registration information can be found here. I would love to see you there!
We use and enjoy many aspects of the creation around us. This event is a reminder for us to take care of it and be good stewards of it.
The creation of God is a Theater of His Glory. He is the Master Artist whose mind is so incredibly creative that all He had to do was speak things into existence! “Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?” Isaiah 40
He pronounced it all “good” at the very beginning of time, and then placed man and woman in an incredibly beautiful paradise with the purpose of them caring for it.
It had to be breathtaking because it was designed to be a place for perfect harmony and fellowship of all Created Things.
If that wasn’t amazing enough, according to Genesis 3:8 It was also where the Creator, the Lord God Himself, would come down and walk in the garden in the cool of the day and enjoy His mind-blowing creativity!
Because of the fall and sin having dominion in our hearts and lives we as a human race have gotten off track. We get into survival mode, heads down, running like hamsters on a wheel, and forget what it’s all meant to be about.
WaterBrooks, the vision that God impressed on Sue’s heart, is a place set apart where weary and tired people can come and sit alone with the Lord surrounded by His Creation. It is a garden, a small taste of that first garden He created for us. It’s meant to be a small reminder of what once was, and what once again will be.
“The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Those who trust in the LORD will find new strength.” (Isaiah 40)
Perhaps, it will give you a fleeting glimpse and a deeper longing for the Eternal Garden that He has gone ahead to prepare for us.
I love thinking of that Garden, that place filled with the work of His fingers but untainted and undamaged by sinful choices.
Some people call it Heaven. Some might call it Paradise. Some might call it the New Earth.
What I’m excited about, is knowing how incredibly creative our God is, that it’s going to be the most amazing place ever!
