I find titling a blog to be a very difficult task because you have to live with that title for quite some time. So I figured I would make sure it was something very fitting to my purpose in writing. I love my job, and the coolest part about it is that people come to my company and ask us to illustrate with images what they are trying to communicate (I’m a graphic designer). In the same way I love to write. My joy in writing is to illustrate with words when a picture can’t (or would be less effective) be used.
The blog title Design 1:24 is taken from 1 Peter 1:24-25
1Peter 1
13Therefore,preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for
“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
I love this passage as it is packed full of the Truth of Christ and our redemption and finished with an illustration from Isaiah. Completed with the statement “but the word of the Lord remains forever”.
Stay tuned for periodic posts.
