I've recently become awe-struck when I see beams of sunlight piercing through these beautiful autumn trees. Sadly the photos can't compare with the real splendor but maybe it can help us worship the one who spoke light into existence.
I'm reminded of the book of Job. When Yahweh wanted to reveal his magnificence to Job, he questioned Job about the dwelling place of light in Job 38:19-20,
Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness? Can you take each to its home? Do you know how to get there?
Or I'm reminded of how the psalmist exalts the Creator God in Psalm 74:16-17,
Both day and night belong to you; you made the starlight and the sun. You set the boundaries of the earth, and you made both summer and winter.
It's difficult to imagine that on the new earth we will no longer need the light of this beautiful, dazzling, awe-inspiring sun. Isaiah 60:19,
No longer will you need the sun to shine by day, nor the moon to give its light by night, for the LORD your God will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.(Revelation 21:23, 22:5)
Amen.
