Today, I went to the zoo.
As I was observing the various species of fish in the aquarium, I couldn't avoid wondering how amazing the mind of this Creative Genius must be. All these intricate details: fish eyes, little shrimp legs, the motion of a jellyfish--WOW! And to think that He took the time to imagine with love the purpose of every note, every brush stroke, every shape, every line of code, every texture, every movement--everything!
And He created us. Caretakers of His masterpiece. Created in His image! Able to experience an intimate relationship with Him. Capable of creativity and love. There's something of deep significance there, being able to interact with the Creator. Every single person with their own purpose, their own abilities, their own to bring to the table of the Lord's delight.
What a wonderful God is our God! Creator of the massive universe with it's planets and galaxies and stars. Creator of tiny cells, and atoms, even dimension and time!? Ultimate power, ultimate knowledge, ultimate love. He knows the movement of every little speck of dust. He knows every single detail about you. How can you not be driven to follow Him with your whole heart?
That brings up another point. He gave us the freedom of choice. What a profound concept! And we all made the wrong decision, but He came to save us anyway. He lovingly guides us and shapes us and He creatively strengthens our faith. I believe that everything happens for a reason. How could it not?
The signature of the Original Artist is printed everywhere, in plain sight. Do you appreciate His art?
O Lord,
The seas roar with Your power.
The clouds march with Your might.
The sun glows with Your love.
The rainbow smiles with Your promise.
The leaves twirl with Your mercy.
The mountains stand with Your righteousness.
The people praise with Your friendship.
