In today’s scriptures (Ez 1:2-5, 24-28c), the prophet Ezekiel shares with us a vision he experienced of the glory of the Lord. I saw a glimpse of the glory of the Lord as I drove into work. As I was driving north on LA641, right in front of me, over head, a “shooting star” streaked down. It was an amazing and awesome surprise. The streak of light trailing the meteoroid was so long that it gave the impression it was going to hit the road. I slowed my Escape as if to miss it. It never reached the ground and burned up in the atmosphere.
I thought to myself how wonderful witnessing that was. We are just now finishing up our annual experience of the Perseids meteor shower. I was reminded of that as many meteorologists included information about the meteor shower in their weather forecasts. I hoped to spend some time this weekend looking for “shooting stars” but was unable to do that. I thanked God for putting the “shooting star” right in front of me this morning.
Cosmic phenomena fascinates me especially stars. For me, stars are one of God’s most awesome creations. Stars help to remind me of the sacredness of God’s creation. Their beacons in the night sky have facilitated my prayer on many occasions. Those points of light in the sky guided the way of many on Earth.
Do you see glimpses of the Lord’s glory? Where?
