Hymn: "Earth is Full of Wit and Wisdom" https://youtu.be/BhD50CXZQ3Q
For today's reflection on the word "Creation", I share the hymn and lyrics from the above song.
Earth is full of wit and wisdom sounding God’s
delighted laugh.
From the tiny roly-poly to the tree-top-tall giraffe,
all creation sings in wonder; even rocks and trees rejoice
as they join the ringing chorus: echoes of our Maker’s voice.
Earth is full of wit and wisdom, woven into
harmony.
Every creature has a purpose; every flower and bumble-bee,
spider, human, redwood, gecko, monkey, chicken, mouse and snake,
live within a single fabric: cloth that only God could make.
Earth is full of wit and wisdom: penguin, platypus
and snail,
cactus, sea-slug, oak and algae, from the microbe to the whale.
In this great and strange creation, with a breath God gives us birth;
born of soil to live as stewards, called to love and serve the earth

What other specific ways do you see the "wit and wisdom" of God's creating power at work?
