"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." -C.S. Lewis
Watching the sunset this evening brought a fresh reminder of who God really is. I really love sunsets. I look at God's creation and am so unbelievably amazed that I have the privilege to be called a child of God. No other species on earth can claim that position. We are created in the image and likeness of God, and yet we curse His name like it is meaningless. Why? When someone exclaims "Jesus Christ" in disgust or frustration I always say "Don't blame it on Jesus, He was a good guy, it's not his fault." Sounds silly, but it is true. Sometimes in my life, I feel like I set God up as my fall-back, or insurance. When really He should constantly be the fore front of my existence.
I mean look at that sunset! If that could be turned into a painting and you asked someone if they wanted to know the artist, they would say yes of course. They would feel honored to have the opportunity to meet such a talented person. God paints these incredible skies almost every night. And we disregard this display of His glory. Ignoring Him makes us like the lunatic the CS Lewis describes. God's glory will be ever present, no matter how much we choose to ignore. Let God's glory be revealed in your life. Let him be the incredible and powerful God that he is.
