Can You See Him?

So, lately I have been going on walks around 10pm or 11pm, just when its dark. I love being alone thinking about God's glory and holiness. His creation just looks so different at night. It's a different kind of beauty. and I thought about how the night is a picture of the gospel. Think about it. Night is when we rest, we await the coming of the light of the morning, the light of the "son."

An even sweeter picture I thought of was how there is so much darkness in the night yet there are stars that shine God's glory into the darkness, we are these stars, we proclaim the glory of God through the darkness of this world. There are nights where it feels as if there are very few stars or no stars at all. In the same way I think we can feel as if it is us against the world, yet we have hope that there are millions of stars out there with us awaiting the coming of Christ. As the coming of the dawn,  the glory of the Son is so great that the small fraction of that glory we were trying to reflect is completely swallowed up in His majesty. And its the dawn that we are so looking forward to. Darkness to be totally blotted out and His glory to fill our very being.

ISAIAH 6:1-3

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;

the whole earth is full of his glory!”
