Hi Friends,

Do you make a point of taking in sunrises and sunsets? Some places are better than others to do so. When we lived on Lookout we used to see the sunrise at the gym — sometimes the clouds would be beneath us. Other times we’d take the golf cart to a place where the rock formations jetted out into the valley with a perfect view of the sun setting. Beholding sunrises and sunsets require less effort where I am now. And as much as I love mountains, I also just marvel at colorful skies framed by swaying palms.

The Psalmist said:

The heavens declare the glory of God: the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2 (NIV 1984).

Who would deny that starting the day, or closing it out, with majestic beauty is good for the soul? But more than just soaking up glory, it can provide spiritual renewal. All you need to do is acknowledge that the heaven’s declare the glory of God. It’s a simple but ever-needful reminder: It’s about Him, not us.

With Love,

Kristie
