Psalm 139:17-18
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number
than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number
than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
I came across some close-up pictures of sand recently (on the Internet). How amazing to see that each grain is so different and beautiful.
Now, open your mind to the thoughts of God. See if He will share His wonders with you today. There are more things for Him to show us than there are grains of sand on every beach, in every nation on this planet...and on every planet in the universe. In other words, His thoughts are limitless and incredibly beautiful. We have not even scratched the surface of the delightful things He wants to show us. Begin with David and turn your eyes to the beauty of the Lord:
Psalm 27:4
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
Here are some photos of individual grains of sand - see if you can find two the same:
Vivien, loved your pictures of the grains of sand tody in class! Each grain is incredibly different and incredibly beautiful. I find the same extreme differences in the little bit I do with gemstones!
ReplyDeleteIt is immensely overwhelming and comforting to know that His thougths are higher than ours! To me it is like being wrapped up in the most exclusive full-length mink coat possible - to rest in the absolute vastness of a Creator-God! Who is also Abba!
