Job 38:1, 4-7
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: “Where
were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have
understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who
stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its
cornerstone when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly
beings shouted for joy?
Join the song
Autumnal glory explodes across the western sky as an
October sun sinks low, brilliant and burnt orange painting the horizon and reaching
high to touch eternity in a final hallelujah for the light of the day that was …
and the promise of the new one yet to be.
And I am alive to see and praise the Maker of the
light beyond and within me, who graces my soul with the capacity for wonder and
love. For it is love I know within and beyond the beauty of this Friday moment,
a largeness and smallness, too.
For my heart is enlarged to embrace the wonder and
grace of being alive and able to feel beauty and love that lifts me beyond
words. And I am small, wonderfully small, struck dumb by the wonder of
existence. Why should I be? Why should anything be … let alone …this?
Science tells me it took nearly 15 billion years to
produce the glory of this speechless moment when the heavens declare the glory
of the Loving Mystery whose breath gives me life. Fifteen billion.
But every moment was worth it. Every moment held
within the promise of what my eye beholds and my hearts knows.
And it is love … no, Love, I know as my heart joins
the song of the stars, the joy of those who know.
Pr.
David L. Miller
