Did any of you stay up late last night and see the moon shining bright in all of its glory, or wake up early enough this morning to see it? If so, then you know how absolutely beautiful it was! As a matter of fact, as I was driving to work this morning, I felt like a kid again as I watched it follow me when I turned left and then right, and then I watched it disappear for a moment, and then reappear as I made my way on to the highway going west, and I was in awe!
As I drove, I thought about how so many people, even people who are thousands of miles away from me, could see the same beautiful moon, and I wondered to myself, "How is this even possible?" I also wondered how one minute I could see it shining bright right behind the 3 stacks as I passed by Moores Park, but when I got on the highway, it was directly in front of me and nowhere near the park. How is that possible? It's just something that I cannot explain any other way except for the fact that it is God's magic! I mean who else in the world could make a moon that so many people can see at the same time, and who else could make a moon that follows you and guides you no matter where you go? Only God! He is so amazing, and His beauty is awe inspiring!
I couldn't help but to cry out to Him this morning as I drove and thank Him! I thanked Him for the beauty that only He can create in this world. Nobody else can make a sunset so beautiful, or a rainbow shine bright after the rain. Nobody else can create a billion stars that twinkle in the night sky, or a full moon that follows us all the way to work on our morning commute, nobody but God.
So, with that being said, let's remember to thank Him today and every day for the things that cannot always be explained but fill us with childlike wonder and awe, and most of all, let's thank God for sharing His beauty with us this morning and in all of the days to follow.
