GOD’S PAINT BRUSH!

 ‘Rainbow’ or ‘Lilac-Breasted’ roller bird photo by Sharifa Jinnah.                              

I saw what I considered the most beautiful image I’ve ever seen.  (See photo above).  It is called a ‘Rainbow Roller Bird’.  It inspired me to write this post.  Doesn’t it fill you with AWE?  (a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder).  Can’t you just see Jesus with a paint brush in His hand?  It was Jesus who created all things!  (Colossians 1:16).

I’ve included additional images for you to contemplate and hope they will also fill you with awe and that you, like King David (A man after God’s own heart) will praise God for His wonderful works and be one of His ‘faithful people who extol Him!’  
(Praise God enthusiastically)!!!!  

As King David wrote:

‘All your works praise you, LORD; your faithful people extol you.’  Psalm 145:10.                              King David felt the same way I did as he meditated on God’s works!

‘I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.’  Psalm 143:5.

‘They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works.’  Psalm 145:5.

‘I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.’  Psalm 77:12.

‘How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts!’  Psalm 92:5.

‘How many are your works, LORD!  In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.’  Psalm 104:24.

‘Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.’  
Psalm 111:2. 

Look at the magnificent ‘Siamese Fighting Fish’ above, photo by Pietro Jeng on unsplash!

Or this butterfly photo above!!  More of God’s paintbrush!  A photo by Joshua J. Cotton on Unsplash!  We could keep going with these magnificent images.  May I encourage you to go to Pinterest and view my ‘PINS’!!!!!!!!!!!

IN CONCLUSION, REJOICE IN THIS!

You are His greatest work!  God declared all the natural world that He created GOOD! 
But when He created man, He said, now that is  ‘VERY GOOD’!  
‘We are God’s work of art, created in Christ Jesus to live the good life as from the beginning he had meant us to live it.’  Ephesians 2:10, Jerusalem Bible.

‘GOD MADE US A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS AND CROWNED US WITH GLORY AND HONOR!’  Psalm 8:4-5. 

                                 GOD IS AWSOME AND SO ARE YOU!
