Not long after I got out of bed this morning, I was treated to this view, what seemed to me a stunning work of art. This photo helps because I remember the reality, but I suspect it won't generate the delight, the joy, the wonder for you that I experienced this morning.
A little later I received an email that began with Psalm 19:
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Sometimes these "double reminders" happen, and I'm not always sure what to think. Usually I assume that God knows I easily miss what we wants me to hear him say. This morning I don't believe I missed hearing something about God's artistry, his glory, the work of his hands being proclaimed in what I saw in the skies.
What I'm thinking that God wanted to do is emphasize the importance of how he is revealed, how he is in some mysterious way present in the beauty we see. The clouds I saw this morning are gone, carried along by the wind that is a reminder of his Spirit quietly and powerfully at work.
But the wind kept blowing, so that another of God's beautiful works of art and example of his glory was proclaimed in the skies this evening.
