Be Staggered


Did you see it?  Last week we were treated to a fairly rare occurrence in the night sky.  On Wednesday evening there was a total lunar eclipse.  A total lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes into Earth's shadow and is blocked from the sun's rays that normally illuminate it.  

My family saw the end of the eclipse and we were all amazed.  After seeing the sight of the moon that evening, and the star Regulus and the planet Saturn which were noticeable too, I thought of Psalm 19:1-2, 

"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.  Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge."

God, in his greatness, displays his glory in the heavens.  Think of it, day after day, and night after night the heavens and the sky declare His beauty, His faithfulness, and many other awesome attributes.  God is staggering.

Is your God too small?  Are you too overly impressed with man?  I suggest taking a trip outside and look up to the heavens at God's handiwork.  By God's grace, it could be just what you need to magnify the Lord as He deserves.
