Sunrise Sonnets

     I have always enjoyed using illustrations. Words, objects, stories, etc. so many things can create a picture in the mind of exactly what the speaker wants to convey. Jesus knew this. He used many illustrations in His word. We call them parables. Not only did He use parables, He also called His word the bread of life, He called us His sheep, and He called satan, well, many things. All of these things illustrate without having to say exactly what is meant.
     For me, illustrations set a whirlwind in motion of connection and understanding, but always they lead back to one of two originations. All things in life are either connected to sin, or God. There is nothing that does not lead back to one of those two choices in life. Sin or God. Isn't it amazing that there are so many things to illustrate so many other things, but yet, they all lead back to the same two places. God created the mind. It is such a wonderful tool for living, but we still do not fully understand how it works. Kinda like God huh?
     God is so magnificient we cannot fully understand Him. Like the universe, His ways are so vast that there are so many parts remaining to be discovered (like that illustration). I could go on.
     In Gods word He tries to help us understand Him by using things that we understand. That is what we still do today. I say all that to say this. Poetry is beautiful! No, not really, well, it is, but that is not what I was trying to say. I titled this post Sunrise Sonnets because that illustrates what I am trying to do with my blog. Every day I have reasons to praise God for what He is doing. Every day He has taken care of me. Every day I can say with the sunrise a sonnet of praise. It illustrates how I feel. I hope you understand. Celebrate with me in Sonnets of Praise.
