Luke 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

Consider the Handiwork of the Master Artist

 Recently I read these words in the Bible:
Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight which He hath made crooked?
 -Ecclesiastes 7:13

I then thought about other places in the Bible that says to "Consider".  And I started to consider.

Sometimes when I see the various colors that the Master Artist uses in nature, I am speechless. The rich purples and vibrant yellows are such cheerful colors!

Do you ever consider the handiwork of the Master Artist?

It is beautiful and amazing!

I considered consider so much that I looked up the definition and found 5 explanations.  Here are those five explanations:

1. to think carefully about, especially in order to make a decision; contemplate; reflect on: He considered the cost before buying the new car.
2. to regard as or deem to be: . I consider the book is true.
3. to think, believe, or suppose: We consider her reply satisfactory.
4. to bear in mind; make allowance for: The cost was justified if you consider the quality of the material.
5. to pay attention to; regard: He considered the man for some time before inviting him to speak.

Matthew 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Luke 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Yay! Friday is here!

This has been a good busy week for me. How has your week been?

About two weeks ago, I had some family and friends over for dinner. One person liked the food so much that they asked me to prepare their Sabbath dinner for tomorrow!

So today I will be preparing for that dinner! I also captured quite a few flower pictures this week.

I love flowers.

The photos in this post are all the blooming flowers that I captured this week. ...so pretty.

Flowers are like constant reminders of God's promises and that life has beauty.

I hope your weekend is filled with rest, love and beauty.

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. -Deuteronomy 5:14

Day 9 - Have you been in awe lately?

I finally captured a photo of a rainbow today. Yay!!  I  was starting to wonder why I never got a photo of  a rainbow in the sky.  Well, today was my day and thankfully my phone was charged.

Because I worked today, I am too tired to draw a rainbow so I am going to post this long awaited picture that I got today.

Let's talk about the rainbow for a minute, shall we?

After work today, nature decided to pour down a ton of rain.  It rained so hard that I put on my hazard lights because it was very blurry trying to see through the downpour.

I asked the Lord to stop the rain.  Although the rain didn't stop immediately, it did let up a bit.  Then it was back to the downpour.

What gave me a bit of hope was the clear clouds that I saw in the sky up ahead and I knew the rain would stop eventually.

And praise the Lord it did finally stop.  I do not like driving in rain and especially a whole lot of rain.

Well, fast forward to further down the highway after the rain, and what do I see?  Yes, girl a rainbow!!!  Let's scream together! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

And then I thought about  "being in awe of the Most High God".

...because quietly and majesticly, the rainbow appeared.

I was in awe because there it was.  The promise.  Right before my eyes.

Have you been in awe lately by Him?

And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 1

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.  -Genesis 9:11-17
