Day 4 - Week 1 - Genesis 1: 1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Have you ever wondered why the combination of yellow and blue is so appealing?  At least to me it is - love cornflower yellow and a vibrant blue!  Today as Robert and I were driving to Santa Fe, the sky was the most brilliant blue and the endless grasslands were a beautiful maize yellow dotted with junipers---absolutely gorgeous!

Isn't it funny that we so often attribute man-made objects or designs to the great creative minds of the artists, while they very often mirror the palette of the Master Artist!  I believe God created the design of the world to appeal to our sensitivities, to make man ask "who?" while He is very ready to answer, "I Am the One."  In Romans 1:20 Paul tells us, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."  It is only when men become so egocentric that they refuse to fathom that there can be anything bigger or better than themselves, that God not only becomes unnecessary, but a threat; and every argument will be made against such foolish belief.  But then I'm reminded, "Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise."  I think I'll opt for God's wisdom.

Signing out until Sunday night/Monday morning.  Keep meditating on, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."  The more I let it sink in, the more I keep getting bold pictures of His creation as an expression of His love.
