God's beauty

Psalm 19:1-4a
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech of language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."

Have you ever watched someone paint? From my experience, i have noticed that whatever people paint reflects themselves and their personality. A free-spirited, fun person usually uses a lot of colors with minimal straight lines and organization. Those people usually like things such as splatter paint. More organized and simple people tend to want theirs to look perfect...perfect lines, perfect in all the extremely small details, etc. They usually like have a picture to look at when creating something 3D (even if it's supposed to be original). I am not an art expert so all of these details may not be completely true. They are just things i have noticed from watching certain people. and i have noticed that there are some exceptions, but that's not the point i'm trying to make here. You can tell a lot about a person by their artwork.

What does God's artwork say about Him? Have you recently noticed how flowers sparkle after it rains, how vibrant and beautiful rainbows are, and how gorgeous plants are? Not only are plants beautiful, but they are extremely helpful to us as they take in carbon dioxide (which is harmful for humans) and gives us oxygen (a necesity to live). Does it take your breath away when you watch the perfectly radiant sunset? It should. These are things we pass by everyday in our busyness. We see them constantly over and over again and we too easily become oblivious to their wonder and beauty. How hard do you think da Vinci worked on the Mona Lisa? How do you think he would feel if we all of a sudden decided it has been marveled at long enough (if he were still alive)?

I encourage you to go outside right now and just sit or go for a walk. Admire God's magnificent artwork. Listen to the birds sing; watch the clouds dance by and the trees sway to the rhythm. The other day, i noticed the trees sway to the exact same beat as the worship song i was listening to and i knew God was telling me something! Let's worship our Creator along with His other creations!!!
