The moon and the stars, which You have ordained

When He marked out the foundations of the earth.

1. The Sun Reveals God’s Life, Hope, and Wisdom present it in class.

God is the ultimate light, and the sun shines a spotlight on that
reality. The sun symbolizes life that comes from a loving
Creator who cares for creation. It shows us God’s fiery love,
which motivates him to give us life and sustain our lives.
The Bible calls God the “sun of righteousness” in Malachi
4:2, “true light” in John 1:9, “light of the world” in John 8:12,
“consuming fire” in Deuteronomy 4:24 and Heb. 12:29,
“refiner’s fire” in Malachi 3:2, and “bright morning star”
in Revelation 22:16. Just as all forms of life on Earth need
 sunlight to grow physically, we need the light of loving
relationships with God to grow spiritually.

2. Water Reveals God’s Salvation Work, Clarity, Purity,

and Mercy

Water splashes God’s salvation work into our focus. In John

4:10, Jesus uses the term “living water” to declare his role as
the world’s Savior. A few verses later, Jesus uses the imagery
of water to describe his gift of salvation: “but whoever drinks
the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I
give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to
eternal life.” (John 4:14). Water, which is essential for our
bodies to thrive, points us toward saving relationships with
God so our souls can thrive.

3. Rocks Reveal God’s Trustworthiness, Handiwork, and

Eternal Yet Dynamic Nature

Rocks, which are reliably strong, point to the fact God is

trustworthy. The Bible calls God “rock” in First
Corinthians10:4, “living stone” in 1 Peter 2:4, and
“cornerstone” in Isaiah 28:16. Any type of rock can inspire
awe in us, which deepens our trust in God. As Deuteronomy
32:4 declares: “He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all
his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright
and just is he.”

4. Trees Reveal God’s Wisdom, Protection, and Connected

Presence

Trees grow our perspective so we can understand more of

God’s wisdom and protection for us. Jeremiah 33:15 uses tree
imagery in a prophecy about Jesus coming to Earth in the
future. “In those days and at that time I will make
a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; he will do what
is just and right in the land.” Trees, which stand tall as silent
guardians of all around them, can help us put roots into the
solid ground of God’s loving care for us.
