A Word Of Encouragement

WOW!!!

Were you blessed to see the sunrise the morning of March 10th, 2019?  Daylight savings time ushered in that Sunday morning and inadvertently altered my timing, placing me in an advantageous place to see it as I drove to church.  The prelude as the sun approached the horizon was spectacular as the red glow reflected off the altocumulus clouds, creating a fantastic but fleeting display of colors in the Eastern sky.  Unlike the Grand Canyon experience where the sunrise spectacle lasts only a few seconds, this event lasted minutes, giving me ample time to alter my route and head eastward in order to prolong the experience.  Atmospheric refraction allows a view of the sun before the actual sunrise, and today the clouds created an opening at just the right time to allow the huge orange ball to be briefly visible. 

As the ball continued its rise into the sky, the brilliance of the light source peeking through the striations in the clouds forced those watching to divert their gaze slightly off-center.  The intense white light reminded me of the apparent similarity of looking upon God’s face, and our inability to look upon either.  However, at the same time, the Holy Spirit erupts within me to give me thoughts and words to describe the experience, words I do not totally own or recognize later as I read them as being mine.  It is moments like this that bolster our faith in God and convince us once again and evermore of the reality of God and eternity.
