His Masterpiece
Click below to listen to today's devotional
As a group of fishermen relaxed in an old Scottish seaside inn, one of the men gestured widely, depicting a fish that got away. His arm struck the waiter’s tray, sending its contents onto the white wall, leaving an ugly brown splotch. The innkeeper sighed, “The whole wall will have to be repainted.” “Perhaps not,” offered a stranger. “Let me work with it!”
The man pulled brushes, oil, and colors out of an art box. He dabbed away at the ugly splotch. An image emerged—a stag with a great rack of antlers. His signature at the bottom read: Sir Edwin Landseer. A famous painter of wildlife. In his hands, a mistake became a masterpiece! God’s hands do the same. He draws together the disjointed blotches in our life.
