Becky's Bouquet

This drop of rain glorifying God reminded me that He created me to glorify Him. As this drop of rain will soon fall to the ground no more to be remembered by its place, soon (though not for scores more years, Lord willing) I will perish from this earthly home and in a few generations will no more be remembered by this place. All the more reason to reflect Him so that His truth will be passed on through the generations. This tent is for a moment. He is forever. Psalm 103:14-16, 17-18

Do you see how one raindrop is shining like the sun, albeit much less radiantly? Do you see the other raindrops on the fence, hanging there without exuding the sun's rays? God created His creation to glorify Him. Every single thing that He created, He called "good." He created us different than animals by granting us our own wills. Our bodies are His creation and do glorify Him, even though our souls may choose to direct our actions and words to do the opposite. We can choose to saturate ourselves to overflowing with His Word, or we can choose to allow other things to take precedence. Am I absorbing His Light and passing it on? Or am I just hanging out seeing the Light, but neither acknowledging it nor sharing it? Am I reflecting Him, or am I over on the side just hanging out? What do you do to keep yourself saturated with The Word? What is your favorite way to share His Truth with others?

Almosta Farm, August 2013 Our Creator intended for His creation to cause us to turn our thoughts toward Him. When I consider this captured moment in time, I can think of at least three different ideas to help me draw nearer to Him. I hope to share them with you soon. In the mean time, would you please leave a comment below with a Scripture passage of which this photo reminds you? Here's mine: Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light!  Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens!  Let them praise the name of the Lord, For He commanded and they were created. Both young men and maidens; Old men and children.  Let them praise the name of the Lord, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. from Psalm 148
