There is a full moon out tonight! (actually 2 nights ago)
Saturday night, Paula and I were driving home from Katrina and Stephen's aparment in Rock Hill. We had watched JJ while they catered a wedding. Paula was driving and I was sitting in the passenger seat. It was about 8:30 or 9:00. I watched the moon... it was full.
As I gazed at the moon, another simple reminder of God's majesty and brilliance came to mind. Here is some science for you. If there was no moon, there would be no light (other than man made light) on the earth at night time. We would be able to see the stars, but they would not illumine anything for us to see.
When God created life as we know it day to day, he thought of everything. Firstly, the light that the moon puts off is reflected light from the sun. Secondly, if the moon was black, it would not reflect any light for us so God made the moon a light gray.
There is a lesson in this design just as there is in all of God's creation. All the natural light we have comes from the sun. All spiritual light come from the Son. The moon, even though it does not produce its own light, reflects the sun's light to light our way at night. We, as Christians, even though the light of life is not produced in us, reflect the light of Christ with our pure (grayish-white) way of living. If we were sinful, we would not reflect the light of Christ.
On a side note, I mooned a city bus when I was like 15. Even though there was a shine, it did not reflect the light of Christ. (That may have been an over-share!)
