The Sky is God's Canvas

One of my favorite things is escaping the hustle and “buzz”tle of my busy bee lifestyle to sit in awe of God’s artistic creativity, watching Him paint colors across the sky.  I marvel at His craftsmanship, His power, His might, yet His gentle touch and eye for detail when I watch a sunrise or sunset. 

When is the last time you watched a sunrise or sunset?  Glancing out your window as you drive on by and say aloud “oh look, that’s pretty,” doesn’t count.  I mean truly make an effort; set an alarm, wake early, drive to a viewpoint, and watch minute-by-minute the transformation from darkness to light.

I asked several friends to send me pictures they took of God’s creation, I hope you enjoy these stunning pictures and I hope they inspire you to marvel at the beauty that surrounds you!

Genesis 1:1,31a “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth… And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.”

Psalm 104: 24-25 “How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number-living things both large and small.”

Psalm 95: 3-5 “For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land."

Psalm 33:5-6 “He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.” 

Nehemiah 9:6 “You are the only Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, with all the stars. You made the earth and everything on it, the seas and everything in them; you give life to everything. The heavenly army worships you.”

Psalm 19: 1-4 “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 or language where his or her voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

Shining for Him,
