Ponder them

Alright, so I am a man that is very comfortable admitting that I like to pictures of the sky. I call them "sky pictures"; I'm also a very simple man. There is just something majestic and amazing in how GOD paints in the sky.

I have been taking sky pictures for a while now, especially since the camera phone became such a part of everyday life. My kids will tell you that I have stopped in parking lots and on the side of the road just to get the "shot". Maybe you're not that amazed at the sky but it reminds me of GOD and all that He has created.

Today's word is Psalm 111:2, NIV, which reads, "Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them."

GOD has given us so much to enjoy and to ponder, and I am not just referencing the "wonders of the world". The simple every day things are amazing to me. I am struck with awe at how my kids think I am the greatest Dad in the world. Am I? I would certainly doubt it. But, GOD, in His infinite wisdom, allowed Trish and me to be parents of two of the most amazing individuals He ever created. They are growing and learning, full of attitude and interest, soaking up life as quickly as they can. What an AMAZING blessing.

Of course, the greatest work of GOD is His design to give us a way back to Him. It's not necessarily amazing that we want a relationship with Him. It is absolutely amazing that He would want a relationship with us, especially me. What's most amazing is that if I had been the ONLY person needing salvation, He would have done exactly the same just to save me. His works truly are amazing. Let's take the time to ponder them.

Be Blessed,
