For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible- all things were created by him, and for him: For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell. (Colossians 1:16)

If it is at all possible, get out and travel. See and experience the regal beauty of creation.
