I love living in Michigan. We are able to enjoy all four distinct seasons. Whenever I’m enjoying the outdoors, I consider that the beauty around me is the result of a cursed creation. The next thought then is, what was it like before? If this is a sunrise after the curse, what was a pre curse sunrise like? The same goes for sunsets, lakes, mountains, rivers and woods.
We are past peak color for the changing of the leaves and they are beginning to fall rapidly. As I was considering their loveliness I realized that without the curse, we would possibly have no such color change. The curse actually brought us something unique to enjoy.
Of course this tells us something wonderful about God.
Even in the midst of judgment and brokenness, God is able to make something beautiful from it.
