My Journal for Today: Today’s Our Daily Bread devotional entry, authored by Dennis Fisher, uses a wondrous discovery by NASA, a photo of a spinning nebulae in the heavens, which has created an image which NASA has dubbed, fittingly, “The Hand of God.” It is a series of photos from a special Xray telescope which has the appearance of a vast hand encompassing a face crowned gloriously by what appears to be a crown of thorns.
What is it? Why is it? … Who knows!! But “The Hand of God” image, I believe, is confirmation for Christian believers of the vast creative nature of God and the glory He can display anytime and in any way He sees fit. And as I took in the NASA images (see attached photo), as well as the linked song by Brian Doerksen, God’s glory and majesty was reinforced for me; and I remembered many times where God has given me glimpses of His glory from His creation to lift me up or surround me with His love.
And so, during my meditation today, spurred by the Our Daily Bread entry this morning, a memory verse from God’s word bubbled up into my consciousness, … Isaiah 41: 10, copied above. And I pray today that all who read here are uplifted by God’s display of His glory in His creation; and we’re all spurred to believe more strongly than ever in the reality of our Lord's glory.
My Prayer for Today … O Lord, … You lift me up with Your mighty right hand.. … Amen
