Tonight, we went to the beach to look at the moon. When we first stepped onto the sand, we searched the sky but did not see it. Then, we spotted a sliver of orange rising on the horizon. What a brilliant sight. I couldn’t help but stand in awe of God’s creation as we watched the moon ascend gracefully into the night sky.
Sometimes it’s difficult to appreciate the beautiful aspects of nature when we see how much devastation it can also cause. I’m sure some of us hesitate even to turn on the news for fear that we’ll learn about more tragedies and troubles. After weeks of nonstop coverage on earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear reactor problems, Middle Eastern conflicts, and bombings it’s easy to develop a pessimistic attitude.
In light of these events, our pastor challenged us this morning to remember God’s love. God never called us to fear the things in this world, but rather to conquer them through Him. He promises that nothing can separate us from His all-encompassing, all-powerful love.
If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31
