I visited an Aquarium recently and gazed with my grandson at the wonders of God's design. The variety of Marine life under the oceans is infinite. And each creature seemed to express something of it's Creator. He truly is an amazing Master Artist! Every fine detail of line and colour filled me with awe. As an artist I appreciate shape, colour, detail and composition. But I know that I could not design such wonders. God is not a magician. Things did not just happen without pre-meditation. Did He have a drawing board and intricately design each species that Adam named? Did He have a sense of anticipation, excitement and exhilaration at the good things He was creating? He had a deep satisfaction at what He had done because after each stage 'He saw that is was good' Gen 1:4.
If we look there is always something wonderful to behold. It is good to fill our hearts and minds with the wonders of God's creation. It is there for us to enjoy also as we are the crowning of it all. He enjoyed creating Man and placing us in His Creation. I know there is so much pain and war, evil has contaminated the purity of the world He created. Even the lovely Marine fish eat one another!
'Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things' Phill 4:8.
