Isaiah 59:7-8

 

On a recent trip to the Pentagon and to Washington D.C. there was one ting I saw that everyone seemed to have in common. Everyone was in a hurry!! Even when there was no time pressure to get somewhere, everyone walked at a brisk clip. In contrast, a couple of nights before the trip, I stood at the end of our driveway staring into one of the clearest starlit nights I can remember. The moment was so peaceful and majestic. Looking into the heavens one could marvel that God must have a real purpose for us to give us such a beautiful universe. How awful it would be to waste it rushing from one place to another, head down, oblivious to the wonders God has created.

 

We can rush into sin or we can let God’s light shine from the heavens and show us the path.

 

Dear Father, We marvel at your universe yet so often pass by without experiencing the beauty. Lift our heads to the heavens to bathe in your glory. Keep our feet from rushing into sin so that we might see the righteous path. Amen
