Incredible!

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm19:1

Last evening, I went outside and couldn’t believe the majesty I saw in this sky. This picture captures some of the glory of the full moon shining through the cotton-like clouds. I felt like it was a special present from the Lord, a glimpse of His beauty and glory. I’m sure when we get to heaven we’ll be in awe of the beauty, way beyond our imagination now. Just think upon these words: “By the Word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth” (Psalm 33:6).

 And our response in awe of His stunning majesty is, “Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him! For He spoke and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast” (Psalm 33:8-9).

We need to take this glory with us throughout our day, knowing He delights to show us His beauty through all of creation. People are the Lord’s most prized creation. That’s pretty amazing too. He gives different cares and passions to all of our different personalities, yet together, when we believe His Word we, are God’s symphony as we live to please Him by walking in His love. For those who don’t yet know, we pray they will, so they can join us in His song.

“He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works” (Psalm 33:15).

I pray we would look for those moments He gives in which He shows us His beauty, knowing it’s His gift because He wants for us to know how much He loves and prizes each one of us. Also look for others to encourage, knowing you have His smile because of the great value in each individual. No matter how long we’ve walked with the Lord, we can miss these gifts.

Dear LORD, thank You for getting our attention through Your glory in the universe. Thank You that You’ve made people Your most glorious creation. Help us to see and love what You see in each individual. We give You the glory due Your name. Amen.
