(Psalm8:3-4) When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
About a year ago I woke up, got ready and out the door to work ahead of time. Leaving the house the sky was waking up with me and was just so beautiful. I went through my normal routine by stopping and picking up a soda (my version of coffee) on the way in. I then drove and entered I95 heading south to Delray Beach en route to work. Turning on the radio to a local Christian station I began listening to the music I love and letting my mind flow....and that is when this moment I treasure began.
I found myself desiring to talk to God, yet clear words were not there. I began noticing the landscape of the sky before me and found my senses becoming overwhelmed. Though I had driven this route literally hundreds of times and viewed the scenery...this day it was not the same. Suddenly my mind saw the sky as if an invisible curtain had been pulled back revealing an aspect I had not been privileged to prior. It was as if I was not "seeing" with my eyes, but with my entire being! The vastness of the sky in its width and depth and the astonishing smallness of myself - I was overcome with an utter awareness of the greatness of God.
In that moment, my heart was racing and vocal chords constricting as tears flowed so freely, while it felt like every cell of my being cried out, "I love You! You are SO wonderful I can't even imagine Your greatness Lord! Thank You! thank You!"
In that moment I was so utterly aware of how very much I would never possibly begin to comprehend both the awesomeness of God, much less HOW in His immense greatness He could be with me in that moment - knowing EVERYTHING about me. I only wish I could adequately put it into words. I will be forever grateful for that precious experience and for the mercy and grace of my God who can be so great and yet so tender and loving.
