“O
Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.”
Psalm 8:1 NLT
I enjoy a new view in my world. My
husband trimmed a huge, fifty-year-old cherry tree in
our backyard. With the tree dramatically lowered, I now see blue-gray
mountains covered with evergreen trees to the south. We planted so
many trees on our two-acre property that we must look up to
see into the distance.
Looking up is good. As a little girl, I laid on my back on the front
lawn, watched the clouds move across the sky, and looked for Jesus to
appear as He promised. Now when I discover a beautiful cloud
formation or an amazing rainbow, I still anticipate that glorious
day.
The view from a 747 takes your breath away. One year, I enjoyed two
worlds as we jetted to California, one view below the dark, stormy
clouds and another above white, fluffy cotton balls. That inspiring
scene at forty-one thousand feet elevation went on forever, or so it
appeared.
Bill
Anders, Jim Lovell and Frank Borman on the Apollo 8 mission to the
moon in 1968 read the Scriptures in Genesis, chapter one, describing
the events of creation. I wonder how Christian astronauts on their
way to the moon contained their excitement as they saw what God
created from their unusual vantage point.
I will never enjoy that particular view experienced as an
astronaut, but the Lord has blessed us with many beautiful scenes,
this side of the moon, of His magnificent earthly creation.
Our imagined views during eternity evoke another possible topic and another time.
