Yet God has made everything beautiful
for its own time.
He has planted eternity in the human heart,
but even so,
people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work
from beginning to end.

Blessings of Knowing The Only One Who Could Do This
You make springs pour water into the ravines,
so streams gush down from the mountains.
You send rain on the mountains
from your heavenly home,
and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.
O LORD,
what a variety of things you have made!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.

Blessings of Personally Knowing This Creator
You placed the world on its foundation
so it would never be moved.
You clothed the earth with floods of water,
water that covered even the mountains.
At your command,
the water fled;
at the sound of your thunder,
it hurried away.
Mountains rose and valleys sank
to the levels you decreed.
(Gruyeres, Switzerland)

Remember your promise to me;
it is my only hope.
Your promise revives me;
it comforts me in all my troubles.
