I just decided God is an amazingly fast sketch artist.
Look at it this way. Video is multiple frames moving fast enough for our brains to render them as motion. That’s how stop motion animation works. You take a picture, then another, then another, and another, each time barely moving the object or the picture you’ve drawn. Then when played back at 24 frames per second or faster your brain runs it together as motion. So I believe all God is doing is sketching life at 24 fps or faster. Every time someone moves, every time something shifts, or a car pulls away from a stop sign, God is redrawing that picture. Think about it. Then think about this, the wind you feel… that’s God’s breath, when he’s rushing and doesn’t want the ink to smear; he blows on his picture. Once it dries he draws the next picture and it takes the place of the previous one.
This also happens to explain why some days feel slower than others, and some days feel faster than others. The slow days are when God has hand cramps and has to slow down. Basically our world, our movie is running at less than 24 fps. The fast days is when God is whipping out those images at a super high frame rate. Of course, the more you move the faster he has to draw and thus the faster the day goes, and thus why your movement causes the day to go by faster.
With that said I believe God is an amazingly fast sketch artist, and the beauty in the world really comes when humans rest enough for him to put beauty in the world. When we slow down, he can elaborate; paint sunsets, draw rainbows, and add color and sensation.
So, next time you want a beautiful day. Slow down. It will help God out!
