Week 3.1: Color

Week 3.1: Color is a photo of the sunset from the front of my house. I LOVE the view over my kitchen sink. More often than not I get a spectacular show while I cook dinner. Awesome.

I can't imagine the world without Color. My lovely friend, Svetlana, says, "Color is my favorite color." I couldn't agree more. And I know God agrees, too. As I embark on this next Project 52, I want to start by sharing something from Tozer on the Almighty God, a 366-Day Devotional compiled by Ron Eggert. We read this book at work when we get together for devotions. It just so happened that the first day I opened this book, it fell to March 11th's day. I fell in love as soon as I saw the title: "God made Color."

"And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.~Psalm 89:5

"Some people are afraid of color. They think that spirituality consists in being drab. But God made color! He made all shades of color. Look at the sunset-what is it, just something scientific? Do you think that God splashed the lovely, beautiful sky with rose, cerise, blue and white and wasn't smiling when He did that? Is that just an accident of nature, scientifically explained? Then you've got too much learning for your own good! Go empty your head and get your heart filled and you'll be better off. The Holy Spirit wrote 150 psalms and in those psalms He celebrates the wonders of God's creation...

We ought to stop thinking like scientists and think like psalmists.

This infinite God is enjoying Himself. Somebody is having a good time in heaven and earth and sea and sky. Somebody is painting the sky. Somebody is making trees to grow where only gashes were a year ago. Somebody is causing the ice to melt out of the river and the fish to swim and the birds to sing and lay their blue eggs and build their nests and hatch their young. Somebody's running the universe. AOG011-113

Indeed, Lord, the heavens shall praise Your wonders! Thank You for running the universe with beauty, variety, intricacy and color. Amen."

I love the scientist. But I cannot deny the psalmist that paints the sky over my head every evening.
