MEASURE OF LIFE – Chorus of Success
“God looked at everything he had made. And he saw that everything was very good.” [1]
SUCCESS is the realization of design!
About the “flowers of the field” Jesus observed: “They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it?”[2] For a few minutes focus “the eyes of your heart[3]” on this collage of color and design! Let their beauty soak into your mind and heart! These flowers, each expressing a unique design, are a vivid demonstration of success!
Now turn your attention to this portion of Psalm 148!
Praise God from earth, you sea dragons;
Fire and hail, snow and ice;
Apple orchards and cedar forests;
Wild beasts and herds of cattle,Snakes, and birds in flight;
All of Father’s creation, Praise the Lord!
Rather strange words, wouldn’t you agree – apple orchards and birds in flight praising God? Neither has the capacity to think or speak! Perhaps this is nothing more than poetic license; that is, “the freedom to depart from the facts of a matter or from the conventional rules of language when speaking or writing in order to create an effect.”
I think NOT! Please concentrate on the collage again. In being a flawless expression of what the Creator uniquely designed, each flower is a part of a grand CHORUS OF SUCCESS, rendering to the Creator the most profound praise that can be offered!
