Psalm 148:3  Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him all stars of light!

I type this a chilly Michigan evening from the front seat of my car. I’m tired but eagerly expecting to see something amazing. I just gotta hold on and God has to play the clouds just right.

I think He will. He wants to share this with me, I can feel it.

I’ve spent a lot of time pondering lately that I am the radiance of God. He is the sun, I am His moon, made to reflect His light into a dark and hurting world. As I sit and simply chat with Jesus, thanking Him for something SO cool, He shows me the shadow, hazy with mild cloud cover, indistinct. I ask Him about the shadow. And I realize He’s gifting me with the imagery I’ve been praying out rather than the images He’s already given me, first.

As first I watch this phenomenal image play out, I then begin to hear His instruction; He IS the sun. I AM the moon, his reflection, His radiance. This season, the clouds, have cast a shadow. The earth, or “the world” is blocking the light from me, my sight…without The Source of light, the moon has nothing to reflect. But the light is not gone.  It’s simply hidden for a time.

This is a full eclipse. While I hope and pray that my personal eclipse isn’t full (thanks be to God it can’t be, nothing separates, only blinds temporarily), the world will pass away and there will ONLY be light. All the time. Forever.

And really, how great is that.

He’s got this. And because He’s got this…we do too.

In this life you will have trouble but take heart. He has ALREADY overcome the world!!

Psalm 74:16  Yours is the day, yours also is the night; You have prepared the light and the sun
