I've been in this season for a while now...in amazement of what God can do. Mostly, I'm in awe when I look up. Which is often. Do you see the heavens changing before our eyes? I wake up and first thing I do is look up, see what God has in store for me that day.
I feel like I can face anything by watching the sky. I know that sounds silly, but I look up and I feel God move closer to me. It reminds me I'm not alone and that while I'm small, the guy who made the sky chose to love me. To pursue and enduringly rescue me.
Luke 21:25-28 (NIV) "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
I find myself dreaming of that day. Folks, that's a good place to be in. Yeah, sometimes I feel selfish and want to say no not yet, I've got too much to do. But when I think of the glory of God...the peace and joy I feel in His presence...I'm reminded of how much I love being with Him.
That's something to shout about!
Psalm 147:8 says, "Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains..."
That means that those clouds I'm in awe of are literally covering heaven up...the throne room is just beyond. I cannot express how much peace I have when I look up. I like to call them glory clouds, right about sunset, when the colors of the sky are changing and rays of sunshine are going every which way...it's a beautiful sky God created. Even on the dreary days if you look close enough there's still sunshine peaking through somewhere. Little pockets of glory.
This is scattered, probably doesn't even make sense. But regardless, let's start looking up more. Thanking God for what He's given us...chased us with. His glory shines everyday, all we have to do is acknowledge that He's there.
Peace and Joy!
Katie
