The Many Facets of God.

The Many Facets of God.

I considered recently how angels see different facets of the Lord. They bow down and worship, look up and see a different facet, then sing holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, as each facet is something new and magnificent. How, after billions of years, do they still see different facets? How many facets of the Lord can there be?

Yesterday I drew a picture of a hand. I’ve never drawn a hand before. I’ve always considered it too difficult a subject, but I wanted to see if I could. I’ve not been drawing all that long and I don’t consider myself a fabulous sketch artist but I am doing so much better than I knew I could and I do believe this is a gift from God; one which I can develop further. So, I gave it a go and drew a hand squeezing olives, or grapes. I couldn’t tell what they were. In my drawing, they looked like jellybeans to me, but it was more about the hand than what was in it, or so I thought.

I thought it was just a random sketch. I was sent the most beautiful painting of a woman on her knees, a large bible open underneath her. She was bowing down as a huge hand above squeezed grapes over her and the juices (oil) dripped on her head, pouring down from her hair and into a lamp in which a light was emanating brightly. If there was a signature to the painting, I couldn’t see it from the photo I was sent.

Anyway, I wasn’t thinking I could do the whole scene. I just thought to myself, I’ll work on the hand. I’ll give it a go. Let’s see if I can do it. And it may not be the best sketch you’ve ever seen, but the story behind it made it all worthwhile.

So, here’s me, thinking it’s a random sketch (I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - there are no coincidences with God). That was yesterday. Today, as I was doing my bible study, I listened to a you tube clip on angels. Nothing at all to do with squeezing grapes. I wasn’t even thinking along those lines. Of course, there was mention of it and my ears picked up. I listened intently.

The speaker was explaining how he saw people who looked like bunches of grapes; juicy, juicy grapes being squeezed out, releasing mystic clusters. He said those clusters are like the government of peace, sent out to all the word in order to crush satan. (Wow! I could have listened to any arbitrary clip, but this was the one.)

So, I thought my sketch was just a novel idea to experiment on. I wasn’t going to do anything with it, especially since the conception came from another person’s work. What I learnt however was; no matter how many times we box the Lord in, He just blows it out of the water and it showed me a different facet of God.

Is this what the angels see? I expect so because the awe of the realization of just what God can do is mind-blowing. Plus, it was an answer to my earlier question; how, after billions of years, do angels still see different facets? God is showing me His world with Him, showing me one of His many, many facets, for the order of Melchizedek is to know the Father's business. We are His response to a bigger story.

I’ve said this before too; If you’re just going through the motions, putting in your allotted Sunday morning at church and nothing more, don’t envisage too much to happen. However, if you’re diligently seeking the Lord, life’s gunna be a blast.
