--Isaiah 6:1-6 ---- -The whole earth is full of His glory! ---Isaiah 6:3- --- --BECAUSE of where I live, I'm treated to spectacular displays of the magnificent, creative glory of God. Recently, on a drive through the woods, I was struck with a breathtaking display of deep rich reds and a variety of yellows that decorated the trees of Autumn--all artfully arranged against the backdrop of a brilliant blue sky.
And soon, as the temperatures plummet and winter blows in, I'll be reminded that no two snowflakes are ever the same as they pile on top of one another to create a rolling landscape of pristine white drifts. After that will come the miracle of Spring, when that which seemed hopelessly dead bursts into life with buds and blossoms that will grace the meadows with a multitplicity of colors.
Wherever we look in the world around us, we see evidence that "the whole earth is full of His glory!" (Isa. 6:3). What is amazing is that the creation that surrounds us is damaged by sin (see Rom 8:18-22), yet God has seen fit to grace our fallen landscape with these loving brushstrokes of His creative hand. It serves as a daily reminder that the beauty of His grace covers our sin and that His love, our awesome Creator's gift to us of the beautiful earth and majesty of His splendor, is always available to us. -------- -NEVER PASS UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY NATURE'S BEAUTY--IT'S THE HANDWRITING OF GOD! ~
