Last night on the news, the meteorologist was talking about the meteor showers which are at their peak tonight and tomorrow night. I went out before I went to bed last night and again early this morning, 4am, and stood and watched the sky. This morning there were a few showers, but I plan to watch tonight again. It is so amazing to watch the brilliance of the stars in the darkness...these past few years, we have had so many fires that they obscured the sky with smoke, so it is a pleasure not to have fires as well as to see the meteor shower this time of year...
What gifts of light God has given us to watch...and to think that each star is named by God himself... For our delight and pursuit ...
I was thinking this as a well known Christian, Franklin Graham is speaking many places this summer. He, as well as his father, Billy, will go down as stars who have lead many to righteousness, with their world wide ministries.
Others have gone before, DL Moody, Charles Spurgeon, the Wesleys, to name a few...they led many to the throne of grace...plus the unnamed men and women who daily work in the thousands of ministries sharing Christ across the globe in a multitude of positions...stars, each one, using their talents and lives to forward the cause of Christ...shining in dark places...and God knows each by their name as well..
Thank YOU for the showers of blessings....
