The sun is slowly rising, hues of blue are peeking their way through the trees. And I open to Psalm 19. "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky proclaims the work of His hands. Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge." The sun knows that when it rises it has one purpose: declare God’s glory to the world.
Will it be through reds and oranges today? Or blues? Or pinks?
The skies must capture the wonder of the ever-busy humans.
What can I do to get them to look up?
The heavens and skies cannot choose who it will and will not display to: "their message has gone out to all the earth; and their words to the ends of the world." From sunrise to sunset, the skies live with the purpose of making God great through beauty displayed.
When you rise, what do you declare?
Do you declare your self: your desires? Your insecurities? Your complaints? Or do you declare something greater: God's glory? the Gospel? Truth?
How do you capture the attention of those around you and cause them to look up? Maybe it's through beauty like the skies - beauty of your words, your work, your encouragement. Maybe it's how you take a stand for Truth or how you work hard at your job. Maybe it's how you purposefully choose to live your season of singleness for Jesus.
When you rise, you declare something and your message goes out to all people. May the beautiful skies around you be a daily reminder to declare Him.
