Spontaneous Worship

To think that people can find God only in a church building is as absurd as thinking that you can find an automobile only in a garage. Spontaneous praise can erupt any time, any place -- as it did today in Southside Virginia on a perfect day for a 10-mile run. 

Open your eyes and the Creator is right there! You catch glimpses of heaven on a park trail, a Mexican meal after your run, and in looking back with gratitude on the steps he gave you this day. 

The Bible says that the trees clap their hands and the mountains sing for joy. Makes you want to join the celebration, doesn't it?

"Nature is the living, visible garment of God," wrote Goethe. So do be sure to get outdoors every chance you get. Spontaneous worship just might break out.
