'The earth was without form and void...' (Genesis 1:2)
Wouldn't the earth be dull if God had made everything the same texture? Suppose everything was smooth...it'd be awfully slippery for a start. Car wheels on the road might be a bit of a nightmare, let alone trying to walk!
But do we ever stop and think about the different textures God put into the world? The bumpy bark of a tree, the roughness of a stone wall, the softness of grass - I've said it before, and I'll say it many more times. God is an imaginative Creator.
Next time I lay my head on a soft pillow, or use the rough bristles of a washing brush to clean a dirty plate, I will pray (or try to) 'Thank you God for your variety. Thank you for texture.'
