Word Wednesday

Creator God (Part 3)

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Hebrews 11:3

My husband Keith is an amazing photographer. His images brilliantly capture not just that moment, but the backstory-giving you more than a photo, but an experience.

He and I often chuckle in astonishment when a casual observer comments on his impressive equipment, suggesting that his camera is the reason for the great shot.

All they can see is the long lens or bright flash, not realizing that Keith's detailed eye, knowledge of composition, and years of experience are contributing to the creation of an extraordinary image.

Often what we see is incomplete. There is more behind the picture.

The same can be said of our physical world. We often only see what's right in front us- our present reality.  We see the bills on the table, the diagnosis on the chart, and even the bier holding our loved one.

But beyond what we see, smell, hear, taste, and touch is an unseen truth. Our world was created by the word of an ever present, all- powerful, all-knowing God. He is greater than the creation He created and can manipulate, annihilate, and even re-create if necessary.  The world is always subject to God's word.

"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."

Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)

Stand on the Word today!

PRAYER:

Lord, 

It is SO Hard to walk by faith. All I can see is what's in front of me. No wonder I'm paralyzed by fear. 

Please increase my faith and sharpen my focus so that the only image that matters is the image of You.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen
