Take a moment to view this image. It’s not about the picture I took, but the main subject – this beautiful hibiscus. Yes, the color is pleasant, and the highlights are nice, but look at the symmetry. Why am I asking you to concentrate on this element? The biggest reason is I want you to see the design, the planned design. It’s practically perfect. The petals, the ridges, the curves – all of it.
My point is that this flower was designed. It wasn’t a seed that fell to the ground, grew, and blossomed by mere chance. No, this was hand-crafted to grow, bloom, close at night, and reopen in the morning to catch the sunlight. A masterful Creator planned this out. All the tiny details were organized to provide something beautiful for us to view. Wow. What a gift! It’s a gift I certainly don’t deserve. We may not deserve it, but God wanted us to have it, and for that, I am very thankful.
Colossians 1:16
“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.”
All things were designed and created by God, for Him, and given to us. Thank you, God, for all of it.
