Beautiful Places

May 1, 2026 | David Jeremiah

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11

If you could go anywhere in the world to see something spectacular, it probably wouldn’t be a palace or temple, which humans built. It would be a beautiful spot God has made in nature. Condé Nast Traveler frequently posts articles on the most beautiful places on earth, and the pictures are stunning: Zhangye National Geopark in China, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and Angel Falls in Venezuela.

Most of us can’t visit those spots, but we can look out our windows and see the marshalling of the clouds, the formation of a flock of birds, and the green variations in the grass and trees.

We need to understand ourselves in the context of the vast universe God has made. We can’t truly know who we are and why we’re here until we know God. He has made everything beautiful in its time, and He wants us to appreciate His artistry. We can know God better through His majestic creation. Try to spend some of your prayer time in nature or with a view of it, giving thanks to God for the beauty around you.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone, alone with the heavens, nature, and God.
