The zoo was absolutely delightful. While at the art museum we were able to see beautiful art created by human hands, at the zoo we were able to see God's artistry in the form of his creation.
Whenever I really observe nature I cannot help but chuckle at the goofy creativity of God. I say that his creations are goofy because you cannot help but smile when you see tortoises that look like boulders and don't move much faster, and frogs that are so neon they belong in the 80s, and birds wearing such ornate feathers on their head they could've gotten into the royal wedding. At least, I can't.
God must take so much delight in his creation. Everything that he has formed has a purpose, a story and a unique design. He created it for his glory and when I see how brilliant his artistry is, I cannot help but return the glory to him.
Perhaps God's creativity can translate into our lives. If our God could imagine around 10,000 species of birds, what unimaginable plans could he have for our lives? This, of course, leads me to Ephesians 3:20
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us"
Just as I do not have the ability to envision 28,000 different species of fish, I cannot comprehend all that God can do in my life. It's comforting to know that a God who is genius enough to create our world is in charge of the chaos that seems to be my life. Even though I have no idea what God may be doing through me and I've run out of inspiration, his spirit is at work and he is dreaming up all sorts of incredible plans for me. I just need to follow his leadings and trust in the power of the Holy Spirit working in my life. The same power that catalyzed creation dwells within me, and I can trust that it will not lead me astray.
