Last night I was at the UH game (Go Bows!)when the person sitting in front of me pointed up to the sky. Of course those of us who saw her, looked up. And there sitting in the sky right in front of us was a full moon; it had just risen enough above the other side of the stadium to be seen. And I watched it rise, just enjoying it's beauty, until I could no longer see it above our seats.
There is something about the moon and the stars that grab our attention. Something that is in the realm of awe. The sky is so expansive, the stars and moon are so beautiful, and it is all so predictive. God created the sky and everything in it to be just perfect and he made it beautiful and awesome so we would notice. When we notice his creation, we notice him. When we see the beauty of the sky, we see his beauty. When we understand the expansiveness of the sky, we can begin to understand the greatness of God. When we see the full moon appear each month like clockwork, we see God's faithfulness. God wants us to know him and to know his attributes, so he places signs of who he is all around us for us to see every day. As we begin this week of Thanksgiving, I encourage you to read all of Psalm 136.
"Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever." Psalm 136:26
