From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets the name of the LORD is to be praised. Psalms 113:3
The rising and setting of the sun means a day and a measured distance from where the sun crests over the horizon and later, sinks opposite leaving darkness. Our planet tilts on its axis, spins at exactly the right speed and orbits our own personal, life giving star, marking linear time. From Heaven’s view, sunrise and sunset are infinite, time is irrelevant. One man’s gloaming is another’s daybreak, eternal both forward and backward.
Across the surface of earth, days begin, days end. There is nothing to be found that is greater than God, but that is not what defines Him. Love does.
From the beginning of time to each quickly passing moment of our present day, God knows every minuscule moment and facet of our daily lives and He cares. (Read the entire Psalm, it is lovely.) All creation displays God’s spectacular glory, but His choice is to love us, to hear our cries and to bring comfort, sustenance and joy.
God could have done so many things. He chose us. Choose Him back and praise His name.
Love,
Gretchen
