Creator God

"Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing."
- Isaiah 40:26

I saw the most beautiful cloud-filled sight in the heavens above me on my way to work this morning. I wish I would have had a camera or nowhere to go. I would have driven toward its siren song until it disappeared.

The sky to the southeast was a wall of white cottonball clouds stacked one upon the other until heaven pushed back. I don't think I could see any blue above the white. It stunned me so much that I turned off my radio to get appropriately silent. I was on holy ground...or more appropriately, below it.

The scene got me thinking about how God formed the things of this world so creatively.

Clouds are little more than air that puffs up and dissapates with lightning fast speed and races across the sky. Quite simply, they are vapor.

Then there are humans - vapors in our own fleeting lifespan. We only seem more permanent because our legs are more sturdy than cloud fibers.

What a creative God I have :)

So, I want to bookmark my day with seeing God's creativity manifested. I'm going to close out the day honoring His creative spirit, so I'm going home to cook, paint and love the creative fibers he knitted together in my body so uniquely. I'm going to revel in his brushstrokes on my personality's canvas.
