Sunrise
March 1, 2014
Read: Exodus 3:1-12
There was a magnificent sunrise this morning, but I was too busy to enjoy it. I turned away and became preoccupied with other things. I thought about that sunrise a few moments ago, and I realize I lost an opportunity for worship this morning.
In the midst of the busyness and stresses of our days, there are patches of beauty all around us, glimpses of Gods goodness that we catch here and there along the way. These are the places in the walls of the universe where heaven is breaking throughif only we will take the time to stop and to reflect upon Gods love for us.
What if Moses had taken only a fleeting glance at the bush that was burning but was not consumed? (Ex. 3:2). What if he had ignored it and hurried on to other things? (He had those sheep to take care of, you know, and important work to do.) He would have missed an epic, life-changing encounter with the living God (vv.4-12).
Sometimes in life we must hurry. But overall, life should be less hurrying and more noticing. Life is the present. Life is being aware; it is seeing Gods love breaking through. It is turning aside to the miracle of something like a sunrise. Something transitory, yet symbolic of the eternity that awaits us.
Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free. Scott
Lord, open our eyes that we may see.

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the tributes to our troops. *HUGS*
Hope your Friday was better than mine. It wouldn’t take much. LOL!!
Did you have a good, safe commute?
Hope you have some “me” time this weekend. My Saturday is devoted to a long list of things I’m supposed to do to my Mom’s Mac, and then conference call the Mac lady, who can no longer drive because of eye problems, on Sunday.
