Photography for the Glory of God.
Everyone has their own unique ways of resting and spending time with the Lord. Recently I have found something I love to do and it’s nature photography. I have always been a fan of photography I even run my own photography business on the rare occasion I actually have a client. That website is available at http://www.focusphotographs.com
However recently I have decided to get out and spend time, along with the Lord observing his creation. I find a secluded place and ask God for permission to photograph some of his Glory… as it says in the bible “The heavens declare the Glory of God.”
Martin Luther said the following “God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.” Martin Luther
The proof of God is in his creation.
So Sunday evening after church, I grabbed my camera and ran back behind a school where there was a field of grass with some yellow flowers. Praying that God would allow me to get “that one photo” I waited until the bees and butterflies returned after I laid in the middle of their pollen harvest. While waiting I thought to myself. What a curse. I get so much joy out of being up close with the smallest of God’s creatures., yet because of Adam they are scared of me.
Have you ever thought about that. How much enjoyment you get from watching squirrels chase each other around the trees or seeing birds up close. With the sin of Adam and Eve…all of that was gone. We can’t even enjoy God’s creation the way God intended us to. We have to lay in the middle of the grass, get all dirty and wait in a silly attempt to fool bees that were not there or else they will fly away.
But thankfully God did allowed me to capture some of his Creation. So I post it here not to brag about my skills but to allow people to see the wonders of God as he allowed me to see up close and personal.
