Three nights ago, there was a lunar eclipse in my area. A friend told me about the moon, and I was excited to see it until I learned it would be visible at 3am. Normally I’m sound asleep at that time, but my husband had to leave early to travel, and I happened to be awake. I traipsed outside with my phone to capture some images and I was truly glad I did. I’d never seen a blood moon before and it did not disappoint.
As I was thinking about the eclipse and how amazing it was, I was reminded of God’s majesty. We live in a beautiful world created by God. Nature is all around us. When I see things like this moon, I can’t help but wonder how anyone would doubt that God has His hand in our world.
So I wanted to pick out some scriptures to start out the day.
Psalm 8:3-9
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
5 You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Psalm 72:18-19
Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel,
who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Praise be to his glorious name forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen and Amen.
I have been dwelling on this particular psalm for a while now.
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
