The scriptures remind us that the created order declares God's glory (Psalm 19). That is no more apparent than viewing the Grand Canyon, up close and personal. Pictures can never do it justice. Poets can never craft words together in such a way that will come close to its beauty. Awesome grandeur.
Yet we all must be careful that we are not so much awe struck by the beauty of the created at the risk of not being awe struck by the Creator. The created is there to remind us who the Creator is, if we lose sight of that we diminish God's grandeur...we take him for granted.
And I stand, I stand in awe of you,
I stand, I stand in awe of you,
Holy God to whom all praise is due,
I stand in awe of you.
