DESIGN

This morning as my oldest daughter and I were traveling I looked up into the sky
and noticed the picture which the God had painted in a beautiful arrangement of clouds. It looked as though some one had taken a huge paintbrush and swirled it here and there to make an awesome design.

As we drove along my daughter said, "Look, mother, there is a little opening in the clouds which resembles a rainbow. " Sure enough, there was a little place in the
clouds where yellow, pink and purple blended together into a glowing brighness.

After while the scene changed to fewer white clouds, then to a deep blue cloudless sky. I am thinking.......What an awesome God we have! who continuously creates picture after picture; design after design;
sunset after sunset (no two are alike) rainbow after storm clouds....Is it possible that such an awesome God should has an intricate design for every person for every person He ever created? a plan that would bring Him glory?

Corrie Ten Boom, a survivor of the holocaust relates in one of her books her experience of sharing about God's working in her life. During her presentation
she would hold up a cloth which had all kinds of twisted threads, knots and no connection or purpose. Corrie turned the cloth to the other side and there was a very beautiful embroidered design. She explained that God sees the whole picture ...the finished product, how He takes all those things in our lives which seem ugly and harmful and designs a beautiful picture for His glory.

Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are God's workmanship created unto good works which He has fore ordainedthat we should walk in them".
