This morning, as I drove the winding country road to the middle school with Jonathan, my youngest, a full-sized deer dashed across the road just ahead of us. He joined two others standing in someone's side yard, looking for all of the world like those stiff statues people decorate with. Seconds later I noticed a hotair balloon already soaring in the morning sky. A few miles down a basset hound trotted through a front yard, his endearing, thin ears flopping in the morning chill. Everywhere I looked there seemed to be markers of God's grace, His presence, the beauty of his creation merged with man's invention, which is really just an extension, or shadow, if you will, of the genius of God. Dark days always seem to be bookended by mornings like today. I am amazed by this. Though we live on a planet that will, according to scripture, pass away, we are continually reminded that, through the darkness of Satan's plans and his interference in this present natural world, the glory of the Lord shines bright and strong. God's presence is constant, especially where his children, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, traverse. Let yourself revel in His loving arms of protection today. Make yourself aware of the myriad ways He is showing his love for you, ways you might normally attribute to coincidence.
