Five Planets & Frost
I will never be able to put into words some of the experiences I have had with the Father.
There is just no way for me to explain, and for you to really comprehend.
You really must experience Him for yourself.
Like this morning, I made sure to be up and outside before the sunrise. It was really cold outside- only 4*. The night sky was getting ready to be overcome by the rising sun. The moon hung behind me, full and bright through the trees, getting ready for the day shift to take over once again. The heavy frost crunched under my feet as I took my phone out into the middle of the yard, my breath showing in the cold. I opened the app to be sure I was looking at what I intended. There they were. I counted them as my arm fell down to my side. Five planets, just hanging there in the early morning sky. Five of the brightest lights I have ever seen in the dark sky, all lined up and looking so amazing.
I felt so small.
The entire universe spread out before me, as if it was waiting for the glory of the sunrise, just like I was. Those planets were amazing, hanging there just where our Creator put them. Spinning, shining, reflecting the light so I could have a breathtaking moment. I heard an owl calling out, as it flew over my head into the barn. The chickens were stirring, and the rooster started his morning wake up call. The sun started to rise, literally cracking the horizon with red, orange and gold. The sky started to light up, a rainbow from the earth right up to the stars and planets. They disappeared with the light, as the promise of a new day begins again.
Each morning we are given the opportunity to start out new. Nothing we did the day before can keep us separated from our Creator. Once we are His, he holds us close, and keeps us forever. He forgives us each day as we sleep to refresh for the next. He allows us to have hope and faith when we are weak, and he carries us through rough patches: picks us up when we fall.
Sometimes we only go with him kicking and screaming, because we don’t understand the path he has set us on. But we go, because he takes us, and gives us the morning.
“In the morning, Oh Lord, you hear my voice. In the morning, I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.” ~Psalm 5:3
My favorite words, “I felt so small.” Sunrises are my favorite and you’re right, it’s hard to put the thoughts and emotions into earthly words. I think God planned it that way. A very special bond between our soul and His.
