Imagine this picture. Standing on the back porch of the country home. Looking out over the meadow of green grass. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, a bright light appears over the horizon beaming warmth and brightening the beginning of the day. You shield your eyes for the light is getting brighter and brighter as the minutes unfold.
The picture I have in my mind’s eye is of the sun kick starting the day.
“22Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with awesome majesty.” – Job 37:22 (ESV)
How much majesty have I missed as my focus has been off just a bit? Each day, God comes to me at the morning and reveals himself, “clothed with awesome majesty”. Have I been missing it as I shield my eyes?
The sun coming up at the beginning of the day might be a great reminder of the glory and majesty that emanate from God. He is so bright that the earth we inhabit is lighted completely by his presence. Shouldn’t we open our eyes to see His glory and majesty?
When you look at your day, are you able to see the glory and majesty of God? Are you shielding your eyes from His glory and majesty? Are you aware of the “awesome majesty” of God and embrace it?
