Watch This!

Sing to God, sing praise to his name,
extol him who rides on the clouds-
his name is the LORD-
and rejoice before him.  Ps. 68:4

I had the privilege of tagging along with my husband on a business trip last week to Florida.  It was just a little break for me from all of the hustle and bustle of Christmas.  I am blessed to have such a wonderful family and support system for my little ones, so that I can enjoy my time and not worry about them.

Whenever my husband and I travel, I always sit by the window and give him the aisle seat.  I like to look out and see all of God's creation and he likes to be able to stretch his legs when he wants. 

As we were approaching our destination, we were flying over the ocean.  I was watching out the window and thinking about the verse I quoted.  I thought about the LORD riding on the clouds.  I wondered what it would be like to have my spiritual eyes opened and see the LORD.

While I was pondering this, I noticed a heart shape in the ocean.  It was very dark and very large and I thought "How cool is that!"  I thought there must be a huge rock formation that is causing the depth of the ocean to form a heart.  So, I mentioned it to my husband. 

He leaned over me to see out the window and spotted it right away.  He kept looking and said, "Honey, that heart shape is a shadow of  heart-shaped cloud above it."  He then pointed out the heart shape cloud.  I said "You are right!  Oh my goodness, that is so incredible!"  We were both just grinning and staring out the window.

We moved past the point of the heart and I just sat there amazed again at our AMAZING GOD!  I said, "You know, I think that God just likes to play, "Watch This!" with me.  He said "I think so!"  That may sound flippant to some, but I remain in awe of the intimacy of my LORD.  He is worthy of our praise!

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.  Ps. 19:1
