Things are looking up

This morning as I took the trash cans down to the street, I looked up to into a sky filled with “buttermilk” clouds. Small patches of blue shown through here and there and the sun was half-covered with its rays streaming down. The bay in front of our house lay smooth and reflective with almost no wind. I thought, “how great is God”. It’s really hard for me not to see Him in such a setting. I am overwhelmed by His majesty, power and hugeness. That He would have time or interest in me is unfathomable. Yet He does. That the Maker of all, universe upon universe, world upon world would concern Himself with my little world with its joys and pains is unimaginable. Infinitesimal. Yet I can feel the intensity of His focus upon me. He has written my name on the palm of His hand and He is staring at me right now. He actually draws pleasure from my presence? ! .
