Sky Pictures

I am a guy that likes to take "sky" pictures, especially sunrises and sunsets. There is nothing prettier than the colors displayed by GOD. NO picture, no camera can do these sights justice. I have taken many pictures, and they are pretty to look at but none of them even come close to what my eye actually sees.

It amazes me that others can see these beautiful displays of color and think that they happen by chance, that some big boom created everything and, by chance, we see these amazing displays. I know that GOD created everything, and we see just a little glimpse of what is in store for us in Heaven. Yes, I know there will be no need for sunrises and sunsets in Heaven; I am just saying that the colors are pure and a quick look at what we will see when we get there.

Today's word is Colossians 1:16, ESV, which reads, "For by Him all things were created, in Heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things were created through Him and for Him."

Today's passage tells us that ALL things were created for and through JESUS. Now, don't go nuts and say, "Oh, so He created sin?" No, of course not. He created us; we committed sin. Let's stick to the point; He created all the beauty we see that so many try to explain away as happenstance or luck or coincidence. No, it is GOD.

When you see something beautiful, and I see a lot of it in my wife and kids and so many other things, know Who is responsible for it all. Give Him praise for His glorious and marvelous and lovely works. Stop and take a sky picture, then, send it to me.

Be Blessed,
