My camera has a setting called "Close-up". It is probably my favorite setting. I love looking at how detailed our God it. It is easy for us to be held in awe at the rolling ocean, the majestic mountains, the sandy deserts. When we watch a sunset over the sea (or sunrise if you are on the East coast like I am), we are inspired. We look at the forest and praise our Father, but we miss the trees for it. We look at the big, majestic, impressive picture. But it is easy to miss the tiny, intricate details that are equally fascinating and beautiful. God is such an artist, His works don't become blurry the closer you look at them, or just fade into pixels. I love what Sivananda says about details, that "A mountain is composed of tiny gains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts." Next time it snows, realize how unique each snow flake really is. If you go for a walk in the woods, check out the little details. Yes, notice the big picture. But notice all the little details God included for your joy and wonder.
