Thoughts

I am not a person particularly drawn to the "Native American" type paintings. But I was looking online for images that I needed for an art class, and I came across this one. I know that not all of you are artists or drawn to the visual arts, but if you can, appreciate this with me for a moment. I think that the first thing that catches my eye in this image is the sheer vibrancy and almost translucency of the colors in it. And everything is taking flight and soaring...the mountains are reaching and sloped towards the heavens, the eagle is soaring on the wind, and everything seems centered around the sun.

Poor explaination for such a profound image. But close your eyes and imagine for several seconds that you are this human...and everything in this painting is what you are experiencing...and you will find yourself surrounded not just by the awesome beauty of nature, but the powerful and overwhelming presence of God!

I think I understand why David focuses so much in the Psalms on nature praising the Lord and bringing glory to him. Isn't it amazing that the Lord created literally EVERYTHING to bring him praise and glory?! And the coolest thing about it is that our experience of those things can actually be a form of worship to our Lord!
I am in complete awe of who the Lord is as I stand on this rock surrounded with the power of his presence and might!
