Daily Huddle - Sun May 24, 2020 Above It All

Love you all, praying for you!
 
Have you even been on a plane in a window seat at flying altitude on an evening flight as the sun is going down?  The beauty is breath-taking.  The setting sun is still so bright – it brings a deep warmth against an endless sky.  It turns the billowing carpet of clouds into an orange glow.  There is a peace here - above it all.  There is no hustle and bustle, busyness is absent, just the sound of the plane engines in the expanse of the sky.  It's funny - the clouds that we always thought shielded and blocked the sun – in reality - don’t block the sun at all - they just reflect it.  It’s one of the most peaceful places you can be, looking out the window – it seems like you can see for forever, the sky and clouds never end.  Such a different perspective – looking down at clouds – rather than looking up at them.  That is a sight that everyone should see.  David was describing what brings this perspective – though he never caught an evening flight to the west coast.  He explained it this way...  Psalms 119:18  - Open my eyes so that I may contemplate wonderful things from Your instruction.  He was talking about new insight into what reality really is - above what you can see from a ground-limited-view. To David, God’s Word, His principles and precepts, His commands and instructions – were like looking at life from above the clouds, rather than beneath them.  Where nothing encroached on the view of the sun, where what we thought was the ceiling – was really - just the floor.  Praying that when you need a new perspective – an accurate view of what the clouds in your life really are - the carpet, not the ceiling... that your PRISM habit – will become change you see.  So that evening-flight peace, that comes from His Word – becomes for you – the peace that remains. 
 
Love you all,
