To my dismay, I failed to post my Day 4 Doxology. Four days into my Lenten Season and
I’ve already missed a daily discipline.
Maybe that’s what makes my period of Lent real and authentic…an
acknowledgement that I might, or even probably, will fail at some point. In my failure, I seek grace. So, I do
what I know to do…acknowledge and press on with all eyes on Easter.
Day 5 Doxology: I hate to choose the usual sunrise or sunset “praise to
God” moment. However, this image has attributes that I couldn’t pass up. This was taken early in the morning on
Hwy 231, a road I usually abhor.
Whatever my feelings for this road in which I have spent hours
navigating it’s hills and curves, today God was waiting with a message. All throughout scripture either God or
Jesus is characterized as light.
As I reached the summit (a nice play on words) of the mountain I could
see this image of the sky perfectly, and I immediately thought of Psalm
43:3. If you will look closely,
the cross of two contrails (the condensation trail of an airplane) are hidden
behind the brightness of the sun (light).
When I saw this, I began to question whether the planes were flying
toward the light or away from the light? Ok, I realize this post is a bit
longer than usual, but I have to ask one more question…can a passer-by, just a
simple observer, tell whether our trail leads us toward or away from the light
that warms a broken world?
