Thankfullness #6

11-7-2011
I am thankful for color.

Especially this time of year.

I just drove to town and back and the colors of the leaves are just stunning.

My sweet man can explain to you just exactly how that happens and why. He loves to understand the ‘how’ behind God’s design. (..when he can..) Understanding the ‘how’ doesn’t change the wonder and awe of it for either of us. God is such a creative Creator ! Leaves change colors because of a certain activitiy that is going on within them.

Not that I care really, certainly not like my man does. I just know that God did it and I love it.

"…He changes times and seasons….. (Daniel 2:20)

In every season, there is evidence of His majesty.

Stop and look with wonder at His creation. Do it on purpose. Today. Right now.
Oh let us not loose the ‘Wow!’ of it !!

“…… turn from…. worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them…….He has not left Himself without testimony:…”(Acts 14:15)

He is God !! And He designed all that is reality to us !! Not me, not you, no human…. If you disagree, answer a few of the questions He asked Job.


"Job, have you ever commanded the morning to come? Have you ever shown the sun where to rise?”

“ What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?”

“Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons?”

“Do you know the laws of the heavens?…. tip over the water jars of the heavens…?”
(Job 38 select verses)

He is God.


"Think about this. Wrap your minds around it. This is serious business……….

I am GOD…

The only God you've had or ever will have-- incomparable, irreplaceable--

From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be. All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, 'I'm in this for the long haul, I'll do exactly what I set out to do,..”(Isa. 46:8-10 The Message)




Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great;

You are clothed with splendor and majesty.…
You stretch out the heavens like a tent …
You make the clouds Your chariot…….
You set the earth on its foundations….

You make grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate—
The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.
You bring darkness, it becomes night….

How many are Your works, O LORD!
In wisdom You made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.

May the glory of the LORD endure forever…


I will sing to the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

May my meditation be pleasing to Him, as I rejoice in the LORD.
(Psalm 104 select verses)

Hallelujah.
