It was incredibly huge and bright. But the moon itself wasn't light. It was merely reflecting light from the sun (elementary school science class did teach me something). It was doing a really great job of this on Friday.
Ironically I was listening to a song called "Your Glory" by All Sons & Daughters (check out this incredible video!). Here are the lyrics:
My life is Yours
My hope is in You only
My heart You hold
'Cause You made this sinner holy
Holy, holy
chorus:
Your glory is so beautiful
I fall onto my knees in awe
And the heartbeat of my life
Is to worship in Your light
'Cause Your glory is so beautiful
Your glory is so beautiful
bridge:
glory, glory
Hallelujah
Jesus, You are good
I put it on repeat, loving the line "and the heartbeat of my life is to worship in your light."
We reflect God's light. Just like the moon reflects the sun.
It's what Jesus did. In Colossians 1:15 Paul tells us "He is the image of the invisible God." In their Inductive Study book That I May Know Him, Kay Arthur and David Lawson write, "The Greek word image is eikon. It was used in classical Greek literature to describe the sun reflecting in a pool of water. In other words, Christ mirrors God for us. In Greek thought, the image shared reality with what it represents."
I thanked God for the physical display of beauty before me that morning, reminding me of who I am in Him.
I have life and light through Christ.
Colossians 3:1-4
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is...for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with Him in glory."
On Friday the moon seemed to be perfectly reflecting the sun's light. What a beautiful way of pulling together His scripture with the sweet lyrics of the song. Something only my Father could do.
Because His glory is so beautiful.
