You know, Lord, it is quite amazing when one thinks that there are only three primary colors from which all painting is done. Most folks don’t even know that, we found out. At an art show or museum one can view combinations of these three colors. With the touch of the master’s brush, beautiful pictures and masterpieces can be created for enjoyment and delight of countless individuals.
Similarly in music, who would even know that there are only seven notes in the musical scale? From these seven notes, all music is written. What a joy to hear music pereformed well, it lifts the spirits of all who listen.
Likewise, in the English language, there are only 26 letters in our alphabet from which all writing formed. The choice is ours for combining those letters to help phrase the thoughts of You, Lord, and mankind. We can write love letters, poems, and books; any of which can be written for help or for hurt — and we all know that both “help” and “hurt” happen.
The choice of combinations is ours. We each have been given certain obligations to do our part to achieve God’s overall design. We’re to realize that others are also an integral part and that each one of us was selected by You, Lord, for our various parts in Your over-all plan. Oh, Lord, help us to choose the positive combinations to make our life full and expressive so that others may see you in us through these art forms that You have given to us to use.
You, Lord, do grant wisdom and insight — if we but ask. We read in Proverbs 4:7: Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do. Whatever else you get, get insight. Again in 1 Corinthians 12:24 (Message Bible) “For no matter how significant you are, it is only because of what you are a part of.”
Love, Mara
