Psalm 66:4 reminds us that all of the earth reveals God to us: “All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing praises to your name.”
Today, continue to reflect on finding God in all things — especially the natural world. Spend as much time in nature as you are able, whether it be a walk, a hike, or sitting in a park or the yard. If you can’t be outdoors, simply gaze out a window.
Take time to see how all the Earth worships and glorifies God. Be in awe of the beauty that surrounds you! Contemplate the sky during the day and at night. Marvel at the sunset and/or the moonrise if you are able. Breathe in the fresh air. Really observe the trees, plants, animals, and insects — the ground below; the sky above.
Let nothing go unnoticed and unappreciated. All of it has been created by God and, as such, reveals something of Him to us.

Ask God for the grace of seeing Him in all of creation.
St. Francis of Assisi had a special gift for recognizing God in all of creation. You may want to consider praying his Canticle of the Creatures at some point today.
