Dear brothers and sisters,be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on — have found that none of these satisfy, or permanently wear — what remains? Nature remains.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

The heavens declare God’s glory and the magnificence of what made them. Each new dawn is a miracle; each new sky fills with beauty.
Their testimony speaks into the whole world and reaches to the ends of the earth.
In them is a path for the sign, who steps forth handsome as a bridegroom and rejoices like an athlete as he runs.
He starts at one and of the heavens and the circles to the other hand, and nothing can hide from his heat.

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires
2 Peter 1:3-4 NLT

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. The lasting pleasures of contact with the natural world are not reserved for scientists but are available to anyone who will place himself under the influence of earth, sea, and sky and their amazing life.

And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God. 6 As the Scriptures say, “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,chosen for great honor, and anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”

We love quiet; we suffer the mouse to play; when the woods are rustled by the wind, we fear not.
