One of my favorite cities in the world! :-) Busy busy! New York City! :-)Manhattan! :-) Beautiful, colorful, and full of culture! I love that I got to go to school here and I will always love and miss this city! This city is marked for greatness. May God arise and may the Light of the Kingdom shine in this place!This picture is incredible--showing the abilities given to the sons and daughters of God to create culture and to build with our God given gifts and the influence of our personalities in cooperation (hopefully) with God to inhabit the earth.These cities remind me of cities in the Bible like Sodom and Gomorrah and the tower of Babel. We have the opportunity to create with or without God because we are made in His image and He is Creator. If we create without God it is for our own glory. To create WITH God is including Him in the plans and recognizingHe is Creator and we are creatures (and thus dependant on Him). It is taking action with our God given human wills and desires, but allowing God to be God instead of trying to be gods ourselves. When we look to Him first we can cooperate/participate in His greater good being worked out in the earth. This picture is so interesting... Reminds me of my former contemplations on cities which I have rarely talked about as much as I think about them, but have managed to blog about twice!
