Psalm 64

On the first day of my Malaysia trip, one of the places that the school stopped at was the Pandan Waterfalls. Being raised up as a urban person, I haven’t not seen many waterfalls. That was only the second one.

But when I saw the waterfalls, I was really awed by its beauty. I saw the water gushing down at high speeds. I saw the surrounding trees wavering in the wind. I saw the sunlight partially blocked.

It was a sight I would never forget. I began to thank God for His wonderful works. Just like the psalmist described in verse 9: “All mankind will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.


Nature is really a place whereby I can find peace in God. I really want to spend time along beaches, sitting in parks, just enjoying the solace and serenity seldom found in urban life. I want to spend time with the Blesser (God) in His blessed creation of nature.


Things to ponder
1. When was the last time you took a break from your usual routine and spend time enjoying nature?
2. Are they too many things distracting you every time you want to spend time with God? List down a few.
3. Pray and allow God to take away the things distracting you, and find the rest and peace in Him by spending some time with Him in the wilds.
