While visiting friends recently, I stepped outside to look around. Bushes were blooming; a lone bird was sitting on a power line. All was peaceful and calm.
Then I heard something.
As I looked up, a low flying airplane was approaching. It was so close.
My friend explained that there was an airport nearby----very nearby. This plane had evidently just taken off.
Commonplace now, the airplane has only been a part of civilization for a few short years in history. The Wright brothers successfully flew the first powered aircraft on December 17, 1903. True, this became the beginning of mans quest for the heights, but it was something else as well. It was the unveiling of Gods magnificence in a new way as we were allowed at this point in time to see His creation from above in a manner not known by man previously.
How privileged we are as a generation to see the vast expanse of planet Earth! Gods workmanship has been revealed to us in a way that others living in earlier times could only dream about:
What would it be like to stand on the moon and look at Earth?
What would it be like to look down on the planet and watch it spin in perfect order, set in motion by God Himself?
What would it look like to see the blazing rays of the sun envelope the Earths edge as dawn comes to mark yet another day granted by
God?
We know.
Gods glorious creation has been revealed to us in His timing.
As our eyes are blessed with the visons of the Earth and space beyond, can we keep our praise silent to the Maker of such magnificence?
