HOW cool and refreshing the water looks as it is splashing over the rocks—can you imagine the great noise it is making—it comes roaring down this canyon from the mountains with tremendous force! Think of the years and years the water has been running down this valley, cutting it deeper and deeper all the time. We cannot number the years that these trees have been standing: some have rotted off with age, others have been torn out by the roots with the water.
God’s work in creation is something wonderful, dear children. You know He made the world before He made the first man, Adam. How grand His work has been in forming the mountains, hills, trees, immense rocks and waterfalls. People are but tiny, insignificant things by the side of these wonders in nature. What a God is ours!
Do you own Him as your God, as your Creator? He has given us all these beautiful things to enjoy, but none of these can give us rest in our hearts and souls. If you could travel the world over, dear one, and see all the majestic things that God has made, you would then come home with an unsatisfied feeling, unless you knew God in a nearer and dearer way than just as your Creator. Do you understand? You must know Him as your Saviour-God; must accept His most wonderful gift—His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as your personal Saviour, or you will not, you cannot be happy.
“Were the vast world our own,
With all its varied store,
And Thou, Lord Jesus, wert unknown,
We still were poor.”
