The Greatest Artist

I am at GoFest (http://ywamnorway.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/a-day-in-newcastle/), this is a summer festival and outreach we are doing as YWAM Norway. Normally, the GoFest starts out the YWAM year, but this year it is the launching platform for the outreach in Newcastle England during the Olympics. All that to say, I am currently in Stavern Norway at the GoFest.
This morning I was having some alone time with God. This picture was my view. I hope you can see the water. As I looks at the water I thought it looked small from the place where I sat. I then considered how large it would be if I got closer then I thought of all the details that go into making this view. All the details in the sea, the plants and animals in the sea are complex and so wonderful to look at. My reaction: God is an AMAZING artist, the best. His work was so beautiful and detailed. For those who know me well, you know detail isn't my strong point. Yet I was marveling at God's attention to detail and found myself being thankful for that part of His character. I, also, found myself appreciating my friends who are more detailed and wanted to compliment them on their resemblance to God So, if you are one of those friends reading this consider the fact that your attention to detail is something that you got (inherited) from your Father God. The same God that created/designed all the items in the picture. He is the Greatest Artist ever!
