In the mornings while we eat breakfast, we look out our front window and notice the sunrise. Now don't get me wrong, we don't actually see the sun rise nor do we ever see the sun set. We live in the middle of the city, and there are buildings and trees all around which limit our views of either horizon. I should say that we see the colors streaked across the sky so we know the sun is close to either going to bed or getting up.
So in the morning, as we either look out the window or we sit on the porch swing with our coffee, we can see the sky in a square, framed by trees on two sides and the roof of a building at the elementary school across the bottom of the square. In this square for a time in the morning, the sky is orange/pinkish and if there are clouds, the picture which is painted is amazing.
Although I can be a little unhappy that this is all I get to see, (and in the evening the view of the sunset is even more obstructed), I still get to see what's happening in my square every morning, which draws me to think of Him who upholds the order and functioning of the universe every second of every minute of every hour of every day. The view of my square is a view of a Creator who invites me each day to trust in Him and to follow His voice, to be still and know that He is God.
I have many concerns this day. I have much to fret and be anxious about but the square is a gift to me to remind me of Him who is faithful to keep all His promises, and this reminder is all I need.
