Night time is not the right time to get great color photos of your art work but it will suffice to demonstrate today. This was a photo from a friend. I loved that it captured both storm and beauty and asked if I could study it. My study may seem a bit different but it’s to get paint out and capture some parts of the photo. Not exact. Not precise. More the feeling of that moment of study. This photo speaks richly. First seen on a higher resolution computer screen, it lacks a lot on my laptop but still inspires.
We often will look at something and have a quick thought, impression or understanding. It’s when we take some time to study the scene, person, situation or passage – when something more comes.
Relating to God’s word, I think of the mystery that requires revelation and why we are told to “meditate” on His word day and night. We have different perspectives during light or darkness.
Do not let the sun go down on your anger. Ephesians 4:26
Relationships should not be a holding tank for the storm. They should be a place of grace, forgiveness and hope.
We could concentrate on the storms or chose to look for the sun setting, seeking the rainbow, the wonder, the possibility and promise.
A verse comes to mind…
He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Psalm 23:5
Thank you Lord that even when things seem the darkest, when the storm seems the roughest and everywhere we turn seems to be bleak, there is a table of Your goodness ready and waiting for us to discover. Thank you that through Christ we are more than conquerors! Let us share Your good news through this week with those we encounter so they too can see Your goodness in new light!
It's not really about me... 
Wow, you just made me see that verse in a whole new way! Thanks for your posts!
