It was cloudy in Dade City on the
13th,(so I didn't get to see this moon) but last night, when I took my
dog Pal out for his last walk, it was clear and even though the moon
wasn't completely full, IT WAS BRIGHT!!!
At times like this, I am reminded of the magnificence of God's creation!!!
That great psalmist David has said...
Psalm 8 (World English Bible)
1 For the Chief Musician; on an
instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is
your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!
2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
OK, we have all seen the moon before,
but it won't be this big for a long time, and that is worth remembering;
and so is GOD!!! I like astronomy because it reminds me of my place in
the universe and that is a humbling thought.
Maybe God made things that way, just so I could become humble enough to really appreciate HIM!!!
P.S. Many thanks to Bruce Arnold for sharing his picture of the "Super-moon"!!!
