As we watch the seasons transform from glory to glory, I'm praising God today for painting our world with color. He fills our eyes with a breathtaking palette that both enriches us and hints at His limitless creativity. Thank God He dresses His earth with an array of plants, animals, and people. A world without color would be a soulless place to inhabit. So God, in His wisdom, gives us a bejeweled stage upon which to play out His grand redemption.
But the many-colored coat with which He paints the universe does more than exist to amuse us and please the Master.

| How gray our world would be without color! |
It serves as a powerful teacher.
Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.
Isaiah 1:18
We would never understand the color of sin without the scarlet flower or the guilty stain of shed blood. We could not discern the depth of the cleansing without a pure, sweet snowfall. We identify with the new life displayed in the green that carpets the earth after a long winter. We behold the beauty of light in its brokenness when we gaze upon a rainbow.
From pacific blue seas to autumn's last golden blaze of glory, God's nature patiently pours into us the lessons of life. May we be faithful and grateful students.
