Magnificent Beauty

I don't know what it is about the morning but has always been my favorite time of the whole day. I absolutely love it. Especially those cool, soft, quiet mornings where everything is silent except the sounds of the rustling trees blowing in the wind.
The sky is light blue with a slight tint of purple reflective in the clouds.....looking beyond into the horizon one can start to see the reds, oranges and yellows of the morning sun rising in the sky. The moon and the sun are together in the sky and only a little bit of light illuminates the sky so that one can see.
It's beyond magnificent. Amazing. Impressive beauty. Simply glorious.

I wish time could stand still at that moment.

It is in this time where I feel closest to God. In a way of trying and wanting to understand His magnificent power in creating this beauty that we call Earth. Although being a science-oriented person and learning all the different ways to prove or disprove something, my mind always returns to one key question.
How can people learn everything about science, all the magnificent wonders that we are still studying because we can't explain them, and still say there is no God?
When I think about that, my heart breaks....
But it does not only refer to the ones who completely deny God, it also refers to the believers who sometimes forget to exeperience God's beauty. It seems like everyday is monotonous, too busy or some excuse is given and we don't stop to simply breathe. We don't stop to take in the world around us but rather overlook it and pass it off as nothing important. God's creation reveals his power and beauty to us.  It's a simple yet complex thing that is easy for any person to understand and accept.
As John Piper says, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." .....reflecting upon the beauty that surrounds me everyday, especially in the morning, satisfies me. My heart is glad and it is my time to give God all the glory and praise.

When is your time of the day in which you stand in awe of God's beauty and give Him all the glory and praise?
