A Dramatic Change!
Spring has sprung! Spring fever is setting in. Somebody mentioned dragonflies today, which
has me thinking about trying to take pictures of them. I think dragonflies are my favorite
insect. I am eagerly awaiting their arrival
(some migrate, some nymphs survived the winter and will "hatch" out).
God created everything for a
purpose and many are object lessons from which we can learn. Dragonflies make one of the greatest points
in the entire world.
The dragonfly begins life as an
ugly nymph in the filth at the bottom of the slough. It crawls around through
the debris preying on other bottom feeding creatures. Then one day it crawls up
on a rock, sheds that skin and out comes a multi-colored, winged insect with
awesome flying capabilities. What a dramatic change!
I am thoroughly fascinated with
them. Through photography, I have
learned a little bit of how they can hover, fly backwards then zip off at high
speed.
As people, we live life in the
muck and the mire of sin, until the day we trust Christ as Savior, and then
become new creatures. God makes that dramatic
change in us!
"Therefore if any man be
in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
2Corinthians 5:17 .
