When It's Good

Awe at Creation

For when you feel: sunset, mountains, ocean, stars, nature is incredible

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Psalm 19:1 · BSB

The MinuteSermon

You stopped walking, or pulled the car over, because the sky was doing something you couldn't ignore, and something in you rose up needing to thank someone. That instinct is telling the truth. "The heavens declare the glory of God," the psalm says. Declare, present tense, a sermon still in progress, preached every evening in a language any soul can hear. What you're feeling has a name, awe, and it has an address. So finish what the wonder started. Let the beauty run all the way up to its Source, because the sunset isn't the destination; it's the signature in the corner of the canvas. Read the name written there, and praise the Artist while the paint is still wet.
