“Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee… He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone…he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”- Luke 4:14-15 &18-19
Taking pictures, whether of loved ones, nature, or personal projects, offers a chance to reflect on life as we try to capture the moment or thing that has brought us into God’s presence.On Monday we reflected about the “come and see” combined with the “go and tell” aspect of our spiritual life. As you enter into God’s presence this week and notice where God is leading you, consider recording some of what you are experiencing through photography.
Then use the picture to “go and tell”. Use the moments you captured as a way to tell someone else about what God is doing in your life.
Here are some ideas for “go and tell”:
Actually show the picture to a friend and tell them about your experience.
Frame and display a beautiful picture that will help others know about your God-moment just by enjoying the photograph.
Another fun way to share would be on social media with the #somecomfortandjoy. After you post your picture, be sure to check #somecomfortandjoy to see what others have shared.
If you don’t enjoy photography, consider what other creative endeavors remind you of God’s presence and also allow you to express God’s faithfulness in your life to those around you. The possibilities are endless!
We hope this brings you some comfort and joy! You can spread the joy by liking, commenting and sharing this post with others.
