For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what your hands have done. Psalm 92:4
God created nature and the entire universe. He shows us his greatness and glory through them. That is why we feel close to God when we hike in the mountains, sail on a lake or walk on a beach, for example.
We enjoy seeing water freezing into icicles or big waterfalls, penguins waddling across the ice and snow covering the mountains. We enjoy the stars in the sky on a starry night, the rainbow and the sunset.
