God’s love surrounds us every single day. It shows up in the food on our table, the roof over our head, the ground beneath our feet, and the rivers and lakes that refresh us. Yet even surrounded by such abundant provision, we do not naturally understand how to receive it, appreciate it, or walk rightly with the God who gives it. We have to be taught.In 1969, the U.S. Army assigned me to a twenty-one-month tour of duty in Fairbanks, Alaska. It was there, far from home, that I saw creation with new eyes for the first time. I realized the earth itself was God’s handiwork, and I began to understand that His love reaches into every detail of our lives. But seeing His provision was not the same as understanding it. That understanding had to be taught.  Today’s devotion is about that lesson — the lesson every believer must learn from the Teacher Himself.
