Its been almost two weeks since I gave this word to the body. It was about some of the colors God has created. As is the case I will not be able to quote it exactly for I don’t remember the exact wording. It started out with there is a reason for the blue color of the sky. There is a reason for the water to be blue and the grass green. Now take my rainbow. I know its a sign, but it also tells you what you need. For soon they will be gone. But, they will always be there. If you are in a dark place then you are not where I want you to be. If you see nothing but darkness then you don’t see what I want you to see. Look up and see. You will be set free. These words are close to what I said. Even though there may be a small portion I totally forgot. None the less this is the part I want to talk about.

Lets start with the blue sky. First of all blue represents the Holy Spirit. Did you ever notice that the farther away you get from Earth the darker the shade of blue. We’ve seen this with pictures from airplanes, spacecraft, and satellites to name some. What makes blue lighter in color? you simply add white to it. Now you have added a color representing purity, righteousness, and the holiness of God. This sky contains the very thing we need to breath and therefore live. Remember that God so loved the world … Yes He gave His Son. But that is not all apparently. And yet we don’t think about this. We take it for granted.

Next in line to talk about is the water. This one is more common to see and think about. One of our references is in the Gospel of John. In chapter 4 verses 4-15 we have the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. In it Jesus tells her of the “living water.” A story that hits home for all of us. As you will notice that water is also blue. And when you look at it from above the shallower the water the lighter it becomes. Similar to the sky. So, with this train of thought, we have blue and white again. This time its something we need to physically drink . A vital part of our existence depends on it. As human beings we need air and water to live. How can we have not seen the similarities before? Something we take for granted because its a natural part of life. God the Father, the Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit are as much a part of our lives. We do need them for life and a life more abundant. Lets take them into our lives just as easily as drinking water and breathing the air (sky). They really are a natural part of our existence.

Along with the water God spoke of the grass being green. Green represents life. Wow, what a change this is, right. Obviously we know that more than grass is green. Just about all plant life is green. Some plants are red for instance. Red is symbolically of the blood that was shed by Jesus. This also has brought us life. As the way God created plants, they take in the breath we exhale (impure) and give off oxygen (air) that we need. Once again giving us life. Notice that this is a cleansing process. Cleansing needed to have life. Like going to Jesus and asking for forgiveness of our sins to receive Him into our lives that we may have life in Him.

In order to keep this from not getting to long I’m going to stop here and make this part one. It won’t be long before part two comes out. But this is a lot to think about and take in. To meditate upon His word. To spend time with Him and get to know Him more and more. Please do take this time and get closer to Jesus. Its not something you will regret. Go for a walk and see the colors.

Be blessed, Ken
