I wonder what is in this glass? Water, possibly. Perhaps alcohol, for this glass does appear to be one that is used for drinking spirits. Whatever it is, it reflects the light around it beautifully. And the that light; sunset and almost twilight – simply beautiful.
A second thought… If I were a glass, what would I reflect and display?
Would my imperfections make my the resulting reflection better or worse? I wonder?
Then, I thought of something I read this morning as part of my daily Bible reading…
Psalm 8 ( World English Bible )
1 For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!
2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Jesus said...
John 14 ( WEB )
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever:
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
What the glass contains, it reflects. Hopefully, that reflection is beautiful. The picture above reflects God’s creation at sunset. I wonder, Gary, do you reflect Jesus?
This last question concerns not only myself, but all who read this post. Question: Do you reflect Jesus ( because he is in you ) or something else? Right about now, a little introspection just might be very beneficial.
Not interested, then, your reflection just might look like this….
