BEHOLD THE BEAUTY OF THE SKIES! (POEM)
I was looking at the skies earlier today
The day was bright, just slightly sunny
As I peered from my bedroom window
Such breathtaking beauty met my eyes
On to the front porch for a better view
Shades of blue and white and grey
Shifting, varying the patterns they wove
Made me wish I had the skill to paint
But in its absence, enter the camera!
The wonder of science that’s like the eye
Snap, snap, I can not only behold
But record for you and whoever cares
The amazing handiwork of Father God

Doesn’t this just remind you of Psalm 19:1?
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” (KJV)

There cannot be a better artist than He who artistically molded man in His own marvelous image. we cannot but honour Him who is unrivalled. A beautiful image!

we all are workers for Jesus, some people are working while some are playing. God will bless you ma for working for His glory
Amen. May God bless you too, Osita!
Nature is beautiful. Most times, we realize that no matter how well we make a painting, it cannot take our eyes off the real thing. God is definitely an artist, He made nature.
I totally agree. He is awesome! Bless you!
I love your poem, Edith, because I understand the joy of gazing at Jehovah God’s beautiful sky! He’s a master painter and I marvel at what He does with sunsets, rainbows, and white, puffy clouds! I am in AWE of the beauty of God’s sky, and the fact that He alone created it, and His He changed it every day and night; which is truly incredible! How can one not believe in God after seeing The Lord’s masterpiece? I am crazy in love with the sky, and I write about it and photograph it all the time. My daughter and I love the sky so much! We always tell each other that come look at God’s beautiful sky! Here is one of my most favorite times we experienced an unbelievably beautiful sky together. I hope you enjoy our story! https://angelaslittleattic.com/2015/11/25/the-greatest-artistgod-knows-yougod-loves-you/

Thank you so much, Angela! Will check out your stiry. I’m sure it will be as beautiful as the others I read before. Cheers! ❤️
Everything God made and he said they were good. his creations are so perfect. He is indeed all-knowing
Our God is beautiful so, everything he does is also beautiful. A songwriter Nathaniel Basssey also made mention of this in on of his songs-Everything. When I was much younger I and my siblings would always go out at night sit down counting the stars and watching clouds go by. It’s just too beautiful
All things bright and wonderful, all creatures great and small. All things good and beautiful, the lord God made them all!
We should learn to appreciate nature, the creation of God.God is perfect in all his dealings even in creation of man for we are perfectly an image of him on earth..
God is an artist whos work is a masterpiece, i always love to look at the sky every now and then, theres this calmness and sweet feeling i get out of it, just looking up and creating patterns is lovely
Nature is very beautiful, the fact that the color of the sky is blue and white gives me so much joy because my favorite color is blue
GOD is the greatest artist whose creation is magnificent. Nature is beautiful and looking at it gives me great joy, I’m grateful for God’s creation.
NEW DAWN GREETINGS MA
There is really a beauty in the sky because God is a God of creative that means everything that was created by God was made beautiful the sky is blue in color and blue signifies loyalty .
Everything that the lord created will always be good. A mysterious God, u can never understand him in his creative capabilities
I know I’ve said this before but I just can’t get enough of nature. It brings me so much joy, looking and marveling at the wonderous creations of God’s hands.And the sky! It is a novelty to behold, with shifting and shapely clouds. Such a beauty! The graphics here really does it justice. It’s so lovely. You might not be a painter but you captured the picture perfectly. Thank you for sharing aunty
Thank you ma for this wonderful poem. I must confess I have not taken interest to look at the sky and appreciate its beauty but this poem have awaken this desire and I look and saw that the sky is very beautiful just like every other things that God created.
When I was alone and had nothing doing, I just looked up and saw the beautiful forms of the sky and took pictures of it. I did it because I had nothing doing. I think we ought to appreciate the things of God more in our lives .The trees, sky, earth even our body. I sometimes wonder, if we are created in the image and likeness of God, then we are identical in form as Him. Glory!!!
God made everything he created beautiful, and everything he created has its significance apart from just being beautiful. He is so creative that he everything he creates is perfect and unique. No two creatures are thesame
God created the heaven and the earth and said that it is beautiful so I join you to appreciate the handiwork of God.
His creation is beautiful beyond human comprehension.
I am in AWE of the beauty of the sky God created and the fact that He alone created it, and He changed it every day and night; which is truly incredible!
All the handworks of God are indeed amazing. Praise God
Great view and nature is beautiful, God created everything beautiful and amazing so that we can all live a life worth living.
God creations are all wonderful. Imagine for the first time in my life, I had calmed down to appreciate the beautiful sky. Boy was I wowed at such an artistic work of God.
Nature should be synonym for Beautiful!
“But in its absence, enter the camera.”
I love the relatability of this verse. It’s reminiscent of all the times I’ve reached for my camera so I could keep a beautiful image of nature forever!
