The image of . . .

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”                                         Genesis 1:27

To an extent I think all artists desire their work to represent some aspect of themselves. The heavens, mountains, oceans, etc all declare the glory of God. When we look at them we see a new aspect of God. God made us in His image, just as we want our children to resemble us.

I find it very interesting that we also like to create things in our own image.

As a writer, I am daily faced with the truth that God made us to enjoy creating, just as he does. When I write, I try to draw from everything I know of God, his creation, and myself and try to create out of the best. My creation are at most poor representations of what He has already made.

Beneath Notice

God's foresight in creation was amazing. He didn't just make plants. He made plants that reproduced,
photosynthesized, take in CO2 and put off oxygen. Can you image a world where plants only took in oxygen? The detail that God put into His creation is astounding. Nothing is to small to be beneath His notice. Likewise, nothing in our lives escapes Him. God cares about the little things.

“Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth', and it was so.”
