b'What are worms good for? Well, they help the earth breathe. As worms burrow\\nthrough the ground, they let fresh air through the soil. The more they eat\\nand digest the soil, the better it is for growing things. In little details\\nlike these, we can see glimpses of how amazing God is. The Creator has\\nintricately woven His creation to work together, all of it bringing honor\\nto Him.\\n.\\nTake the sun as another example that shows us God\\u2019s goodness. It\\u2019s just the\\nright distance away from planet Earth so we can live. If we were just a\\nlittle closer, animals and plants couldn\\u2019t survive the heat. But if we were\\na little farther away, we couldn\\u2019t survive the cold. And that\\u2019s not all\\u2014as\\nthe Earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, the seasons follow\\none another in splendorous order. Only God could have fashioned everything\\nso well.\\n.\\nThe beauty and complexity of nature points to our loving God, the One\\nwho made everything and makes it all work together. And, even though sin\\nfractured creation in deep ways, we can still catch glimpses of the\\ngoodness of God in everything He has made.\\n.\\nAs we stand in awe of creation, we can also marvel at how God became human\\nand came to earth to live among us. He died on the cross to defeat sin, He\\nrose from the grave to defeat death, and one day He will return and make\\nall creation new\\u2014so it\\u2019s no longer affected by sin, no longer held captive\\nby death. Until that day, Jesus is holding all things together. Because of\\nHim, all of creation\\u2014down to the smallest earthworm\\u2014has a purpose in God\\u2019s\\nuniverse. A. W. Smith\\n.\\n\\u2022 What is one of your favorite parts of creation? How could this remind you\\nof God\\u2019s goodness?\\n.\\n\\u2022 How could you find a way to spend time in nature today and marvel at some\\nof the things God has made? As you notice what catches your attention,\\nconsider spending some time thanking God for what you see, hear, smell,\\ntaste, and feel. \\n.\\nFor in him [Jesus] all things were created\\u2026 all things have been created\\nthrough him and for him.
