Psalm 145:5 (NKJV) 5 I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works.
Today it snowed here in Rhode Island, where we live.
It’s not common for that to happen quite this early in the year, but it does happen occasionally.
As we do so often, Pastor Ellie and I took a break from our work, drove to the shore and sat for a few minutes looking out over the ocean as the snow fell. The water was incredibly beautiful today, even with the lack of sunshine.
The cold temperature of the air colliding with the warmer surface temperature of the ocean’s surface created a low-hanging fog that was incredible to see. And on the horizon, shrouded in the fog and snow, was a freighter making its way across the water.
Something about it was eerie, yet fascinating and breathtaking at the same time because I saw God’s power in it.
And as I sat and took in this incredible beauty, one word came to mind; majesty.
God’s majesty was on full display right before our eyes. All we had to do was look, and it was plain to see.
We serve an incredible God. There is none like Him on the earth or in the heavens above.
Because I am a fisherman, as well as a fisher of men, I spend a lot of time in the outdoors, on many of the local lakes and rivers.
During my time on the water, I get to see God’s majesty on display in sunrises, sunsets, wildlife, incredible displays of stars, the moon, meteors, comets and much more. And all of this only strengthens my faith and increases my “level of awe” of Him.
So, I’d like to encourage you all to take a few minutes every now and then, and look around.
Watch the birds. Stare at the stars at night. Watch a sunset or a sunrise once in a while. Sit by the ocean, a lake or a river and take in the beauty of it all.
Don’t take any of it for granted. It is the handywork of the very One who created us and breathed life into us. And He created it all simply by speaking it into existence.
Oh, and if you’d like to share in what we saw, feel free to do so here: Click here to view the photo.
All I can say is, “wow, what a mighty God we serve”.
