Holy Amazing

You may have heard the phrase, "God is in the details." 

Look for a moment at the details of this Alaskan flower:

  

                         

Ever since the creation of the world, His eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things He has made. So [we] are without excuse." (Romans 1:20)

God's work is amazing.  His attention to detail even more so.  We can look on this multi-petaled flower and see the miraculous design.  But, then we can grab a microscope and see the design within each plant cell, even each atom.  God did not cut any corners.

On our vacation to Alaska, we were flabbergasted by the quantity of huge, beautiful flowers.  Their colors were vibrant and varied.  Each one calls out to its own pollenators and each one breathes out its own pleasant aroma.  

Without the plants, we would not have enough oxygen in the air.   Flowers are necessary to the plant's life and therefore necessary to ours.  But, did God have to make them so intricate, so beautiful?  He did, because that is part of His character.

I Saw God's Glory Today

I saw these trees today.  They were dripping purple flowers.  Every inch of every branch was completely covered.  And every inch of ground beneath them was covered with their shed blossoms.  The color was glorious.  My God designed those trees.  Think on that (Selah). 

Isaiah 12:5 (KJV)

Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

Psalm 96 (NKJV)

Oh, sing to the LORD a new song!
         Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
 ² Sing to the LORD, bless His name;
         Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
 ³ Declare His glory among the nations,
         His wonders among all peoples.
        
 ⁴ For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised;
         He is to be feared above all gods.
 ⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
         But the LORD made the heavens.
 ⁶ Honor and majesty are before Him;
         Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
        
 ⁷ Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
         Give to the LORD glory and strength.
 ⁸ Give to the LORD the glory due His name;
         Bring an offering, and come into His courts.
 ⁹ Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!
         Tremble before Him, all the earth.
        
 ¹⁰ Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns;
         The world also is firmly established,
         It shall not be moved;
         He shall judge the peoples righteously.”
        
 ¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
         Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
 ¹² Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
         Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice
 ¹³ before the LORD.
         For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
         He shall judge the world with righteousness,
         And the peoples with His truth.
