Beauty and Joy all Around

The oceans are His. As are the cattle on a thousand hills. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. O for that day. Until then, life under the sun. People working, playing, interacting, investing, reacting. In everything give thanks the good Book says. Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, joyously giving thanks through Him to the Father. Every good and perfect gift is from God above. We are made in His image, to reflect His glory. Joy follows.

I was on a BIG boat today on an immensely bigger ocean, no land in sight in any direction, when the thought hit me like a big object lesson, how immense the sea is. And immediately after, like a rolling wave, the next thought, how Awesome and Amazing God, the Maker of the sea, is. With beauty all around, and an awareness of the Maker of that beauty, all I can say is God is great, good and holy. He blesses us with life, and the capacity to engage and enjoy His gifts. What a God. What amazing joy He gives. In all things. All because of Jesus.
