There is just something about this picture that has fascinated me for the longest time. I've had this jpeg for several YEARS and have always passed it by when looking for something to use. BUT, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Somehow, (I am not really sure, how) it just seems to encapsulate one little view of the whole world in one place. I know, I know- this is confusing, but that's the thing about the human mind, it makes the oddest conclusions seem completely rational. At least, I do, anyway. But, what if one possessed a truly GREAT AND MAGNIFICENT INTELLECT? What then? Consider one of the greatest men of all time, Solomon...
Ecclesiastes, Chapter 12
13 This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
God gave this man unprecedented wisdom, and at the end of Ecclesiastes, he makes a summary conclusion. Do we listen- or not? Well, truthfully, the majority of us do not. Jesus puts it this way...
Matthew, Chapter 7

Because, most people use their own bottle. What I mean is: Look at the world through the prism of the scriptures instead of any-old-bottle, and obey what you see. Like the picture, life may take on a beauty you just never imagined could be there. Just use the right bottle- its just that simple!!!
