Sky Pictures

If you ever watched the "Bill Dance Fishing Show", you know that the theme song began with, "When the sun came up this morning, I took the time to watch it rise. And, its beauty struck the darkness from the skies."

I love sunrise and sunset. I take a lot of "sky pictures", which some people find interesting, some find beautiful, and others find fairly weird. I can't explain what I see in a beautiful sunrise or sunset; it truly is better felt than talked about. I can tell you that, for me, sunrises and sunsets are a tiny glimpse of the beauty of Heaven. GOD allows us just a glimpse of the spectacle that we will one day behold.

Today's word is Psalm 65:8, NIV, which reads, "The whole earth is filled with awe at Your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, You call forth songs of joy."

No doubt, when I see a beautiful sunrise or a really colorful sunset, I am filled with awe, which reminds me of the wonders of GOD. Now, He could have created the sunrise and sunset to work much like flipping a light switch, which is an awesome thing, yet, He chose to give us spectacular colors and designs and light refraction. It is spectacular.

Yeah, sunrises and sunsets cause me to stop a moment and just take in the beauty of it all. There's nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, it is something worth singing about. Next time you get a glimpse of the sunrise, take the time to watch it rise. You can't help but be filled with awe at GOD'S wonders.

Be Blessed,
