As Irma and I were going through our photos from our vacation, one of the things that stood out was how many photos we took of sunsets. Irma even took several of the sunset we were watching on the ride home from the airport. It’s not that there aren’t lots of sunsets at home – we just don’t seem to take the time to enjoy them and rest in their beauty. We forgot to simply be with God while we were rushing about our lives.
A sunset is not merely a natural phenomenon; it is a divine masterpiece that whispers of God's love and majesty. The Bible often reminds us of the beauty of Creation and sunsets are a great reminder of this artistry. In Genesis 1:31, we read, "God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good." This declaration encompasses not just the grandeur of mountains or the vastness of oceans but also the daily, ephemeral beauty of a sunset.
Please don’t make the same mistake I did. Don’t let the rush and tasks of each day prevent you from taking the time to just be in and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation and love. They’re waiting for you.
Rev. Paul Wynacht
