“Look, I see Heaven open...” Acts 7:56
Heaven
opening up. And God’s glory
showing.
While reading through Priscilla Shirer's book we've been talking about the glory of God; how His glory is all around us, even in the
desert places. How His glory exceeds
comprehension, that His glory is reserved for His sake, for only One and that
His glory demands a response.
God’s glory
is all around us...His glory, showing.
Reminds me
of something I shared with my children when they were little. Sharing God’s
glory; a bit of Heaven.
Sometimes, it
happened when we were outside, walking, talking, sky watching. Maybe we would be inside, looking out, through the window, over
the couch leaning, sky watching.
Sometimes we
weren’t sky watching at all, sometimes we were just doing life, and somehow though, there it would be. The sky might have been a little stormy, but
the sun would be there shining somewhere above the cloud cover, above the fray.
Just then the
sky would move, the clouds shifting in the smallest most unassuming way. Then an opening in the clouds, where a bit of
blue shone through. But not just blue,
the brightest blue, reflecting the brightness of the sun and leaving way for
the rays of its light. Amazing rays of
cloud shrouded light streaming down, rays of Glory it seemed.
Whatever we
were doing I would stop and point it out to my children “Look ...a bit of
Heaven!” Then, all time would stop as we
watched, we would melt in the moment and we would pleasure in the glory of it.
God’s glory
showing...His glory is all around us. I love that.
"You are here,
with redemption for us all, that we may live, for the glory of it all."
