column :: glory
Posted by Paul | Filed under columns
Another column from 360 magazine…
Has it ever struck you just how flexible the world around us is? Think about trees: pick the right bits and they can be painted, shaped, carved, eaten, played on, played in, played with… The possibilities could fill this whole column.
It is part of the incomparable glory of God that he hasn’t just made a world with ‘everything in its place’, but one that can be endlessly shaped, worked on and developed by others. And taking part in that shaping of the world is one way in which we bring glory to God; by exploring the possibilities He has left for us.
What does this mean? That we have the opportunity to worship whenever we sing, listen, play, paint, eat… In fact, whenever we explore the possibilities in creation. Now where did I put that stick?
