God’s Footstool: How Creation Draws Us Closer to Him
Have you ever had a day when you were so aware of God’s presence that you couldn’t stop praising Him? In this episode of the Confidence in God podcast, host Julie McGhghy shares a personal experience of walking through an ordinary day with an extraordinary sense of God’s companionship — and the lesson it brought back to mind.
Drawing from Isaiah 66:1 and Acts 7:49 — “Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool” — Julie unpacks a beautiful truth she discovered during years of long-distance bike training. She also shares how asking God for wisdom (James 1:5) opened her eyes to the wonder of the world around her, from deer running alongside a river trail to unexpected encounters with beavers and peacocks.
Whether you’re watching the seasons change outside your window or simply stepping outside for a walk, this episode is an invitation to slow down, look around, and encounter God through the beauty of His creation.
