Random Saturday

Since I started the 31 Days of Challenge sponsored by the Nester, I have been following a pattern of posting my weekly schedule of Monday Musings, Tuesday's Pic, Word of the Week Wednesday, Thrilling Guest Thursday, and linking up with Five Minute Fridays.

When Saturday arrives, I'm not quite sure what I will post. The last couple weeks was related to prayer:

Pray: To Entreat or Implore;To Make a Humble Request

How to Pray for An Hour

Here it is another Saturday! I think I will post about Image. Sort of a follow-up to yesterday's post about LOOK.

Image can mean an exact likeness, a tangible or visible representation or incarnation. (www.m-w.com)

Whenever I think about the fact that we are created in God's image, I can scarcely take it in. When I ponder the fact that Jesus took on our flesh becoming God with us, my soul soars with joy, peace and hope. Even though, I will never quite be able to completely understand. I can only imagine what it was like for God to become man.

As an image bearer, I enjoy looking at images: paintings, nature and photographs. Each medium gives just a hint of eternity and holiness and beauty and grace and light and darkness and joy and pain. All these facets of God, but not God at all. God alone. God incarnate. God the Spirit. God with us and dwelling in us. Too much. Too wonderful for words or photos or anything really.

If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.
I Corinthians 8:2-3 ESV
