I hope you have enjoyed the last couple months of summer in the northern hemisphere and winter south of the equator.
We’ve tried to fill it with worship around the globe on ElijahStreams. Speaking of “the globe” or Earth, recently, I was looking at some beautiful new photos of our very unique planet from deep space, taken by NASA’s Messenger probe.
One of the photos clearly showed Earth and the moon beside it from about 114 million miles away. I’d never seen this planet appear as a star before, but that’s what it looked like from that distance—a big, very bright, shining star and a much smaller one alongside it. (See photo above *NASA)
The image was striking to me, and reminded me of how our amazing God holds all things together “by the word of His power,” and yet, despite our miniscule presence in comparison to the rest of the universe, He is “intimately acquainted with all my ways.”
God loves His creation—He showed us just how much by sending His own Son to pay our ransom from darkness, so we could always be with Him who loves us.
While the magnitude of that realization is mind-boggling, it is true as confirmed by the Bible. And it moves us to worship Him… when we really get a hold of that, it moves us to worship the Lord.
May your heart be filled with love for the Lord today, and may ElijahStreams help to convey your heart to Him.
Two very special verses come to mind right now: “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…” –James 4:8 and “…in Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” Ps. 16:11
