God's Infinite
Versions!
"For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s
womb. I will praise You, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made."
Psalm 139: 13–14
Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse,
Leonardo da Vinci, Johann
Füssli,
and Edvard Munch painted multiple
versions of a single scene.
Van Gogh painted multiple pictures of sunflowers;
Matisse painted two versions of Still Life with Purro;
da Vinci painted two versions of Virgin of the Rocks;
Füssli painted all four versions of Nightmare; Munch
painted multiple versions of The Scream. The same
painter created the same scene but with different
colors, emphases, and perspectives.
Think about God’s creation of humanity: Like a human
artist createing multiple versions of the same painting
for his or her own reasons, God has shaped in every
human creation individually for His own reasons.
That includes you! God “fearfully and wonderfully”
created you and ordained days of your life before
they came to be (Psalm 139:14, 16).
Give thanks for who you are
today.
And ask God to direct your steps
that you fulfill His unique purpose
for your life.
"That God creates and ordains
the days of each human life
gives significance and value
to each life."
