As I gaze upon the sky, I marveled at God’s creation. God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also (Genesis 1:16).
The beauty of these creations never cease to make me feel in awe. Creations that remind me of hope. Indeed, God’s expression of love is found everywhere. When we get tired of the day’s toiling, God designed the sun to set. We have a caring God that promises us a peaceful rest. Isn’t He amazing? The moonlight that the moon reflects is like God’s light during our darkest nights. He promised us that though weeping may endure for a night, joy cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5). And of course, at nighttime, we love to stare at the night sky. What do the stars say about God? For me, the uncountable stars are like His uncountable thoughts and blessings towards us. And when mornings come, God renews our strength. As the sun rises, it is a gentle declaration of God’s love which grows sweeter every single day and His protection (Psalm 84:11) that He bestows to His people. Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun (Ecclesiastes 11:7).
Whatever form of light we see in the sky, these lights cannot compare to the light that Jesus radiates. If these creations give light in our sky, how much more our Creator? In the new Jerusalem that the Lord God will create, there will be no more night. There will be no need for candles nor the light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth them light. and they shall reign forever (Revelation 22:5). No longer will the sun be your light by day, and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor (Isaiah 60:19). Jesus Christ is the bright and morning star (Revelation 22:16). His glory outshines any form of light for He is brighter than the sun.
I AM WITH YOU
