Meditate on Jehovah's Enduring Love

MEDITATE ON JEHOVAH'S CREATIVE WORKS

Can we see Jehovah's enduring love for us in what he has created?  Yes, we can because the very act of creation was a manifestation of God's love.  (Romans 1:20) He designed the earth with an economic system in which we can safely exist and thrive.  However, he wants us to do more than merely exist.  We need to eat to keep on living. Jehovah made sure that the earth could produce a seemingly endless variety of plants that can be prepared as wholesome food. Why, he even made eating a delightful and satisfying experience!  (Ecclesiastes  9:7) A sister named Catherine finds great pleasure in observing creation, especially during the invigorating spring season in Canada.  She remarks:  "Its truly amazing how everything comes to life-flowers that are programmed to pop out of the ground and birds that return from their migration, including the tiny hummingbird that finds its way to the bird feeder outside my kitchen window. Jehovah must love us to give us much delight." Our loving heavenly Father takes pleasure in his creative works, and  he wants us to enjoy them as well. -Acts 14:16, 17. 

Jehovah created us with the ability to perform productive and meaningful work that adds to our enjoyment of life.  (Ecclesiastes 2:24)  He purposed that humans fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish, the bird, and other living  creatures.  (Genesis 1:26-28) And how loving of Jehovah to endow us with qualities that enable us to imitate him! - Ephesians 5:1.
