God's Workmanship

God's Workmanship…

 

If we don't acknowledge God, we are flotsam in the universe. At best we are developed animals. At worst we are rearranged space dust.

           

            With God in your world, you aren't an accident or an incident; you are a gift to the world, a divine work of art, signed by the Master.

 

            Think about this, you receive an autographed book of your favorite author. There is nothing spectacular about the book itself; it is one of hundreds or thousands just like it. The thing that makes it unique is it signed by its creator.

 

            The same is true with us. In the scheme of nature, we are not unique. We aren't the only creatures with hair and flesh and blood and hearts. What makes us special is not our bodies, but the signature of God on our lives! We are his works of art. We are created in His image to do good deeds. We are significant, not because of what we do, but who He is.

 

            Who has more reason to worship than the astronomer who has seen the stars? Than the surgeon who has held a beating heart? Than the oceanographer who has explored the depths? The more we know, the more we should be amazed!

(Devotional Bible, Max Lucado)

 

I stand amazed, how about you?

 

In Christ!
