The heavens declare theglory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Did anyone see the sky this evening? I just walked out to take the trash and I literally could not take my eyes off of it. A mesmerizing array of grays and blues and pinks; a picture no artist could really capture. I was struck, as I quite often am, at the thought that God is an artist, God is the artist. He didn't just create the world with little thought, He fashioned it with pride and with care, with artistry and precision. Do you ever think about that? About how God is the creator of art and science and beauty and all that is good in this world?
I really needed this sky today. That may sound weird but I really did. It was halting, so much so that I quite literally had to stop and stare. All the stress of my crazy Monday sort of faded as I stood in awe of what God's hands have created. It reminded me of a song one of my favorite groups sings called Who Am I. The chorus has a line in it that says "Because I'll never hold a picture of the whole horizon in my view, because I'll never rip the night in two it makes me wonder, who am I and great are You."
I had to spin to view all that was above me, and even then my view was obstructed and broken up. It gave me the slightest taste of just how vast and big our God is. It reminded me that even though I feel somewhat lost and confused right now that He is in control; He has a plan; He is good; and I can trust Him.
Who am I and great are You.

I understand! Recently I was driving right after a rain storm and cars were kicking up a mist that seemed a little like rainbows everywhere. I think God must love color. I can wait to see all of the colors He sees. And He must be the best singer too! He's still in the business of creating, I don't think He called it quits on day 6 for the rest of eternity!
