Display of Color

I enjoy adding hints of white and black to my decor, but I am so glad the world is not just black and white. Life would be boring without color. The colors all around me display the glory of God. God is great!

Display of Color

 

The Artist’s hands paint a world for all to see;

A mix of colors over land, sky, and sea.

His every stroke-unique!

Splashes of color across the canvas, they streak.

O Lord!

I in awesome wonder what thy hands hath made-

How colors ignite in sapphires, topaz, and jade;  

How violets and red blend and spread;

How blues give way to indigo as colors mix and flow.

How green paints a worldly scene,

Turning to red, orange, and brown.

How colors expand from sky down to the ground,

How yellows turn to gold,

How all creates a masterpiece to behold,

How blacks and white give dark and light.

O Lord!

 My heart rejoices in Your awesome art.

You, the Artist, have created a visual sight,

Pleasing and right

With hues and tints here and there.

Nothing can compare.

What wonders Your hands hath made!

A palette of colors 

Painting a vision with precision.

O Lord, my God!

Thy power throughout the universe displayed;

I marvel at what Your hands hath made.

How great thy art!

His handywork.” Psalm 19:1 KJV

 

Black and White

     Through the power of the internet and the camera,  we have opportunities to view many wonders.  Some are magnificent man-made works of art but none of them compare with the breath-taking natural wonders created by God.   If the camera catches God's creations at just the right moment we gasp at the way the light streams through the woodlands, the way lightning explodes beneath the clouds, the flight of a new-born baby bird, the way a rainbow forms a half circle of colors across the sky and reflects into a lake below, the way a waterfall flows over and across the cliffs to a river below,  just to name only a few. 
     Nothing in nature is completely predicable. In other words, it is not all “black and white”, however I would like to share some fascinating and rare black and white works of nature. The squirrel pictures were taken in the Magnolia area.  Although I have heard of sightings of white deer in or near Stephens, the one here is a recent snapshot from a friend of a friend who lives in Tennessee.

      Sitting in “A Friendly Shade,” I have to admire photographers who are creative enough to catch these natural wonders and pass them on for others to enjoy.   Rare visions occurring in nature remind me of Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.”
