Praising God for Natural Beauty

In the Hebraic mindset, everything beautiful is deemed an expression of God’s revelation to us. The beauty observed in nature is ascribed neither to metaphysical randomness nor to the subjective imposition of value by the observer, but rather is seen as a genuine experience of the glory of the LORD’s handiwork. When we are properly attuned to the created order, we cannot help but behold the mysterious beauty that constantly surrounds us. We are filled with wonder, awe, and profound joy.
