Beautiful . . . and Yet More Beautiful!
“The earth WAS WITHOUT FORM,
AND VOID;
and DARKNESS was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God . . . .” Genesis 1:2
Don’t you just love the colors God choose to “paint” his creation?! . . . All those shades of blue for waves and sky, the luscious greens of the forest and grasses . . .
I love it!!! “For all that You’ve done I will thank You, for all that You’re going to do . . .”
. . . And as if this old world isn’t fantastic enough He is going to make new heavens and a new earth.
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;
And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing
and her people a joy.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem and in her people . . . ” Isaiah 65:17-19
Ah, but God still longs for the day . . . when EACH ONE OF US would choose a NEW SPIRIT over the old one and a HEART OF FLESH over the stony heart . . . when we would walk in His statutes and keep His commandments and do them. Then WE WILL be His people and He will be our God. (Ezekial 11:19-20) . . . a NEW sweet spirit, a HEART after God . . . Ahhh that is the most beautiful thing . . . and THAT WILL GRACE the new heavens and the new earth and make it SPLENDID, INDEED!!!
