Hive open mic week 199, Everywhere I go by Nathaniel Bassey

Hello Hive friends! So excited for open mic week number 199 together. Our theme highlighting the colorful country of Brazil has me grinning extra wide tonight. As I planned my piece, the Holy Spirit nudged me. Beyond facts or photos sharing Brazil's vibrancy, why not voice praises to the divine Artist who imagined its brilliance? The true leading character behind this scenic South American set deserves all applause.

Before Portugal colonized the land or natives named it Terra Brasilis, God envisioned its framework. Long before Portuguese ships arrived in 1500, the Master Craftsman blueprinted massive tabletop mountains, lush Amazon rainforests thickening inland, and thundering Iguazu Falls at the Argentine border. God swirled nearly 5,000 miles of sensuous coastline sporting endless silky sands. Even as indigenous tribes scattered inland over centuries, Holy imagination cradled a vision for this future nation occupying half of South America's landscape.

God's creative heart invented the waving green fields surrounding rural villages, urban centers with gleaming high-rises, rhythm-filled favelas tucked in between. Mountains, jungles, wetlands teaming with birds and wildlife...all emerged from our Creator's imagination before humans walked the land named Brasil.

What a wildly wonderful world our God dreams up! As we highlight the dynamism of Brazil ,every photo and fact should point back to the Master's hand engineering it all. So in between cultural trivia and tourist highlights, I plan to sprinkle shouts of "Glory to the Artist of Brazil! Praise God's creative genius!" Because behind copper-skinned Brazilians dancing the samba lies an intimate Artist dancing over each one with delighted love. The true heartbeat pulsating through Brazil is Holy, and our open mic is meant to echo that song of praise.

May our words give adoring tribute to the Divine Choreographer conducting Brazil's rhythm. Let's allow space for handclaps, amens and hallelujahs between our factoids. Because the brilliance belonging to Brazil is but brushstrokes from the Master Painter's fingertips. What a privilege we share - unveiling God's craftsmanship woven into the fabrics of this vibrant nation. Let's unveil the glory due His name!

Here are the lyrics of the song

Summer, winter ,autumn spring
Mountain,blue sky and the sea
Rainbow, sunshine, everything

Jesus maker of them all .
