The Cloak Maker

However, no two people see the external world in exactly the same way. To every separate person a thing is what he thinks it is -- in other words, not a thing, but a think.

Penelope Fitzgerald (1916-, British author)

Hebrews 1:8-12 but about the Son:

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; this is why God, Your God, has anointed You, rather than Your companions, with the oil of joy. And: In the beginning, Lord, You established the earth, and the heavens are the works of Your hands; they will perish, but You remain. They will all wear out like clothing; You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a robe. But You are the same, and Your years will never end. (HCSB)

I’m kind of in a state of awe right now…hey! Maybe you can be here with me and feel what I am feeling right now. Our God who created all of this that we see; a righteous and loving God who hates lawlessness, collects the heavens in a roll and changes them as you and I would put on or take of a coat that needs washing.

Scientists play around the skirts of this coat trying to understand what God has created. In their attempts they look at what our God has made, they worship the cloak rather than the cloak maker. They will never grasp it all, and if they do come close, it will not be before God wraps up the old one and puts on the new…as if changing His cloak.

The one thing that I can take comfort in is that I know the Creator, even if I don’t know all about His creation. I think man still hasn’t found enough about who is, yet man is already looking at the creation explaining to all the nature of God’s Cloak. Now if you don’t know the cloak maker then you don’t know his craft. Take comfort in the fact that you know the cloak maker today, and you will watch him roll up the heavens forever…God’s Blessings
