The Night's Sky

Psalm 19:9B-11 (NLT) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made.  One day tells a story to the next. One night shares knowledge with the next without talking,without words, without their voices being heard.  Yet, their sound has gone out into the entire world, their message to the ends of the earth. Psalm 19:1-4A (GW) When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them,human beings that you should care for them?  Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made,putting all things under their authority—Psalm 8:3-6 (NLT) You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me.  You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts.  You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.

You know He could. ASK why did Jesus’ eyes squint through the Sun’s blinding reflection on those choppy waters while looking for those hard working fishermen? YELLING,  “let me show you how to do that with people!" (Matthew 4:19)!” If you want something di

Too earthly minded. No heavenly good.

"Pursue the things over which Christ presides.  Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you.  Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that's where the action is.  See things from his perspective. (Col. 3:2 MSG)" Reality includes a loving God who is watching you and over you in heaven. When you forget that fact, that's when the problems within your temporal world delude your life.  If you don't walk in this truth, it is a symptom of unbelief, and pulls you out of a right relationship with God.  Here's a way to determine if your walking in faith or unbelief.  Ask am I thinking from heaven to earth, or from earth to heaven?
