Not long after the moon first showed its face above the eastern tree-line last night , I positioned a folding chair in direct line of sight with the premiere feature of the anticipated show…
Weather conditions were as though I had won a weatherman lottery…cool but not uncomfortable …slight breeze , but too weak for wind….clear contrasting skies…bright stars overhead…and errily quiet except for the distant hoot of a mutual observing owl…
The moon took center stage without much fanfare …the dance progressed so slowly it was hardly noticeable at first , then the shadowy subject finally crept into view..
There I sat …just God , the moon of His creation , and me….mesmerized for a span of over two hours….watching earth’s shadow engulf the glowing globe…privileged to a spiritual spectacular created and choreographed solely for my benefit..or so it seemed to me..
Carolyn had chosen her vantage point closer to the house for her prefered view…far enough away to avoid the irreverent smell of nicotine ..yet close enough for an occasional shout back and forth..
There we were , watching a slow-motion movie written and produced by the Almighty God of the Universe… for free..
My take-away was simply this…. God is magnificent in power , sovereign in spirit , and brilliant beyond our limited understanding… mysterious and capable…
Praise His most righteous Holy name.. He is worthy of worship.
