I was walking along the other morning (taking my dog to do her business, to be exact) and happened upon a sight that I had taken for granted. It was the sight of the ocean, touching the sky. It was early, just past dawn, and clear. It was glorious. It was vast. It touched my soul for the first time, again.
It got me thinking of the immense spanse that God created. Now, in comparison to my Lord, the ocean touching the sky is nothing. And yet, in His infinite wisdom and joy, He created such space and color..in order to touch my soul and get me to ponder on Him.
And so, I pondered. How, in the vastness of this earth, God looks down on me. He intimately knows me, my thoughts, my heart, my needs. In all the world, He can hear every prayer, simultaneously, clearly, and answer them according to His perfect will. Yet He is perfectly intimate with each of His children. And He sees....me. What a wonder!
And so, in this immense world, I pray to be found intimate with Him. I want to touch that vastness of God - see His face- with my whole heart.
And so, I ponder.
