Psalm 19:1 NLT
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The
skies display his craftsmanship.
Step
outside. Did you see it? Painted across the sky is some of the most
beautiful art that I have ever seen before.
That was night.
I
looked up and saw the moon draped by the most glorious black expanse dotted
with little white twinkling lights. The
moon is perfectly round, and you can make out the valleys and mountains. And it is so beautiful. The air is crisp and clean. It is a little chilly which capped off a
sunny day of about 70 degrees. I’m
reminded at our wonderful our creator, at how awesome our God is.
Another
morning I looked across the scene before me.
It could have been the ocean from the white sand beach. It might have been a mountainside of fresh
summer growth surrounded by the hills, the streams, the trees and so much
more. Maybe it was fall with the
colorful leaves almost like someone took the many colors of paint and spent
days creating art.
I’m mesmerized
by the glory of our God. It is seen the
beauty of His creation as well in the time that I have spent with Him. God has shown up. His faithfulness and love grow so much with
every gift, with every direction and in all sorts of situations.
The faithful
love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
That’s
what I have experienced. Did you see
that? Did you see the greatness of
God? He is faithful when we don’t have
the ability to be faithful. He is loving
when there seems to be no reason for love or for that old “tender kindness”
that we read of in the Bible. But He is
rich in mercy, in love and in His greatness.
God is
all that. His desire is for us to
experience Him, and today is the opportunity that God had afforded us to see
and hear and know Him.
Did
you see that?
So all of us who have had that veil removed
can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the
Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like
him as we are changed into his glorious image.
