TM Moore (see previous blog post) has been doing a series on Creational Theology. He defines it as seeing God in all that is around us, at least that is a shorter version. His series is 5 short lessons so far, and it is very helpful in encouraging us to really have open eyes and open ears. I have decided that I should try to write some of my own personal observations down, as he encourages us to do. So.....
Thursday I was sitting in front of a Starbucks waiting on a friend to arrive. I started noticing a sparrow hopping all around the tables looking for crumbs, or I should say non-existing crumbs to my eyes. He was eating away, enjoying his breakfast. It reminded me of some of the reasons why creational theology is important. He was first of all hungry, and second he was alert to the feast that he could find all around him. We too have to be hungry for spiritual truth and for the truth that is the person of Christ. We have to also be alert and aware of the precious crumbs that feed our souls that God scatters in front of us everyday. As the sparrow sees them because she is hungry, observant, and aware of where her subsistence comes from, and trusts enough to know it will be there, so we as believers need to see the provision our Heavenly Father puts in front of us in the moments of our days.
I will write more in the days and weeks to come.
