God’s Masterpiece

Masterpiece: a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship

In Paul’s day artists used iron oxide, lime or even arsenic to create their color pallette They were willing to draw from any source no matter how crude to create beauty. Heaven’s master designer draws His pallette from strange people like us and blends us together to be His masterpiece, the church. So if this morning it seems like you are being painted into a corner with folks who are a bit odd just relax. It may be that today God will apply some brush strokes of a new color in you to show His amazing love to a wondering world!

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Psalms 139:23‭-‬24 NLT

Yes most of us would love to know more details; but by God’s design we are given only His word.  But what a word it is that God has given us! His word is not just the sound of a voice contacting us through sound waves. His word is living and powerful! The word of God is a light that shines in our dark place and it is our shelter from the storm. God’s word is a treasure hidden in a field and it is our pearl of greatest price. The more we struggle to understand Him, the more precious the riches of His word become. I don’t understand all of this plan which God has chosen; but by faith I am walking with my invisible God on His invisible road to His invisible destination!
