What if everyone in the world, or America, or just Texas, or even just McClennan county turned off their lights for a few minutes. Now I am not asking for much, just darkened their houses, streets, and cars. and stopped. For only a moment, and looked up. With all the lights dark, and nothing reflecting up in the sky to darken the beauty of it. Just think of how many stars, meteors, planets, galaxies we would be able to see. The night sky would be able to unfurl it’s true beauty and splendor. I like to think it would look gray, from the abundance of stars making it not black. I like to think it would be like looking at a very freckled person, if their body was space and their freckles were stars. I think it would really shock people how many stars you can see from earth, and maybe make some sad, thinking this could be our night every night. But the lights from our towns, roads, houses, and cars, dim the light that is our night sky. We just have to slow down and look up. In this looking up, we can see our creator’s workmanship. For Jesus said even the rocks will sing me praise. God can be seen in his creation, and nature praises God just by being so wonderfully created by him. But we won’t know this unless we stop and look up, or look down. Pausing out of our busy day to admire the evidence that is our Creator. We live with this evidence everyday, but fail to look closely and celebrate it.
