The Wonders of God
While preparing for this week’s upcoming art show based on the creation story in Genesis Chapter 1, I noticed how many colors are in God’s creation.
Before God started creating there was only darkness, next there was light and the first day was here. As God created, we find colors in so many places:
- God separated the waters and the lands where shades of blues and greens became more distinct and appeared vibrant.
- God made the solar system with planets showing a mixture of colors – hot orange, blue, browns and grey.
- God created a forest of trees with variety of bark, leaves, branches and camouflage. The flowers and plants with hidden colors surprise us with buds, flowers, fruit and a new picture of sweet colors everyday.
- What about the birds and fish? There array of colors are a delight to the eye as rainbows appear through scales and feathers glistening in the sunlight.
- Soon later, God created land animals with endless colors of fur and scales and skin in each mammal, reptile, and amphibian.
- And on the 7th day, God rested.
God’s light being created on the first day helped us to see the rest of his creation, replacing emptiness with good things. God stopped each day to call his creation good. God made something out of nothing, bringing a rainbow of colors and light into the darkest part of our lives.
Through this creation story, we see that God, who pushed back the darkness with this first light, also created a rainbow world for us to explore. God blesses us with a delightful world to explore and observe.
Throughout this week I’ve found myself thanking God for all the details and colors of this world. I can only imagine how heaven will be even prettier than this.
God, we thank You for each and every color of the rainbow, for each part of Your creation and how wonderfully pleasing colors are. Thanks for taking the time to design a beautiful place for us to live, grow and explore.
