And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Psalm 73:25-26
One of the side benefits of being next to nowhere is that there is hardly any light pollution. At night the sky comes a live with stars and galaxies, planets and the moon in ways that just don't happen in more populated areas. This same sky though is what the psalmist was used to looking at and it drew the writer to ponder what was beyond. I have found myself doing the same thing, pondering what is beyond as I gaze upon the heavens. As I ponder I find myself being drawn deeper and deeper into a desire for God.I'm afraid I don't yet desire God and God alone. My heart might say that I do from time to time but my life would not yet reflect that reality. So I'm on a journey, a journey to discover the God of the heavens and earth. It is a journey that others have taken before me and yet more will take after me, but it is my journey.
May the Lord give me strength for the journey and the opportunities to look up into the night sky and see the hand of God at work.
