Psalm 19:1

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

As I sit on this airplane on the way back to California…at a window seat on flight number 1417 with Southwest, I contemplate the sky.  I had been flying for about 2 ½ hours from North Carolina, stopped in Missouri and am now flying somewhere over anywhere between Missouri and Colorado.  The sky is a fiery red that blends into a deep orange, smooths out to a creamy yellow and stops at the dark shadowy grey clouds.  From the clouds, a mist of baby blue rises and eventually deepens to a navy blue spread.

The only thing I can think of is God’s mighty and powerful hand!  I think of His great love for me!  I am overwhelmed and in awe when I think that all God had to do was speak and everything is as He wants it to be.  I wonder how anyone could doubt God’s power, love, and care!  After seeing this beautiful sight, God is clearly seen!

I had the opportunity to witness to the man sitting next to me.  We talked about how Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a perfect, sinless life, so He could die for my sins, resurrect from the dead and give me the hope of an eternal life with Him!  All that needs to be done is recognize my sinfulness (Romans 3:23- "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.") and recognize that Christ is the ONLY One who can cleanse me (Romans 6:23- "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.").  I must repent of my sins and ask Christ in faith to forgive me (Romans 10:9- "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.")!  He said He will! Romans 10:13- "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Knowing this, how can you say “no” to Him?

I am so grateful that 10 years and 5 months ago, on August 10^th, 2001, I repented of my sins and asked Christ to forgive me!  What a wonderful day when He washed my sins away!!!  I am just amazed at God’s goodness towards me!  Thank you Jesus for saving me! Thank you for your faithfulness, mercy, and love reflected in your creation where I can rejoice in it every day!
