Like Clay Under A Seal

The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment.  ~Job 38:14

There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number – living things both large and small.  ~Psalm 104:25

The Heavens Declare…

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.  There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.  Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.  ~Psalm 19:1-4

The Fruit of Unfailing Love

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until He comes and showers righteousness on you.  ~Hosea 10:12

Have you talked to a hummingbird lately about God?

According to Job, a hummingbird may have a lot to teach you about God…

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you.  Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?  In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.”  ~ Job 12:7-10

The Word of God tells us over and over that we can learn about our Creator by looking at what His hand has made.  Remember what Jesus said in Luke 12:22-31?  Jesus told the disciples to ask the ravens how much they worry about food.  Jesus tells us we have a lot to learn from the birds of the air and the flowers of the fields.  All of creation points to a magnificent God, and we can learn from what they are saying about our faithful God!

I memorized Job 12:7-10 several months ago and then painted it to help aid in my memory.

The Flowers Fall

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God stands forever.  ~Isaiah 40:8

Food From The Earth

He makes plants for man to cultivate – bringing forth food from the earth…  ~Psalm 104:14

The Lord Twists The Oaks

The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare.  And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”  ~Psalm 29:9

Parable of the Lost Sheep

Lost Sheep

LUKE 15:3-7

Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.  Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?  And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home.  Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.  ~ Jesus
