You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of
joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore Psalm
16:11

Wherever We Are

The night was still. Not a breath of air stirring. Just a few chirpy
insects awake.

A crescent moon played peekaboo behind milky clouds, pale and
fluorescent. Lightning flashed in the distance; a rapid succession of
heavenly electricity, making murky skies even more mystical and
magical.

"How incredibly, breathtakingly beautiful!", I thought. "How
dramatic. How magnificent!".

I'd just gotten back from a long awaited trip. I experienced such
majestic beauty in the mountains. It was amazing, God's handiwork in
such awesome ways.

When I arrived home, I was struck by how truly beautiful it was
outside, right there behind my house that evening. Once again I was
overwhelmed with the grandeur of God.

I've said it before, there is beauty 'in our own back yards'. Wherever
we are, there the Lord is. And in the presence of the Lord is
fullness of joy, beauty, and peace.

If at times we can't see anything around us right where we are, God is
still there. His presence is awesome and filled with glory.

Open my eyes, Lord, that I might see, your beauty and wonder all
around me, wherever I am. In Jesus' name-
