God is GREAT

Man sometimes God hits you like a brick wall.  It was Monday night and I just got finished at a great Bible study.  I went home and picked up some laundry and then exited my house to leave for PBU.  I couldn’t help but gaze up into the clear and perfect sky because the starts where absolutely beautiful and clear.  I walked around my driveway and into the street just staring at the sky in awe.  Something in me, aka God, just wouldn’t let me stop staring up.  After about a minute or so of this (much longer then I would normally look at the sky) the Lord blessed me with the most amazing twinkling shooting star right across the part of sky in which I was staring.  After this I was overcome with God’s presence and I just could not help but shed a tear.  It was absolutely amazing.  It was amazing to think that God showed me that shooting star.  I bet no one else on earth got to witness that 1 second of God’s beauty.  I feel like God just showed me that as reassurance of his presence and it just reminded me that he is always there for me.  I got into my car and I just prayed.  I prayed that God would help me worship him all the way home… And that is exactly what he did.  Naturally I put on Phil Wickham and I began my drive.  I had to stop at Wawa for gas, normally I would press pause on my iPhone and resume the music when I returned from pumping, but I was told by God: “just let it keep playing.”  Like that phrase just popped into my head.  Why would I just say that to myself for no reason at all, so I did just let it keep playing without stopping.   I got back in my car and the second I turned on my car the song Beautiful came on and it perfectly described what I had just experienced that night.  The song says:

“I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who you are
You’re beautiful”

I was like wow…seriously God, hit me a little harder! (sarcasm).  All in all though it was one of the better worship experiences of my life and I thought that I would share that.
