You're staring at the Ceiling

About a year ago, God started painting me a picture of people under an evening sky in a field. There in that moment everything was pure and full of gratefulness of the true Creator. I can't count the times I'll be just going about my day and that picture will flash infront of all the other rubbish I'm thinking.

It's interesting for me to think about because the truth is majesty dwells above us every single night and yet for most of us who live in large towns or cities, the lights of man have distorted our view of this unbelieveable universe that God originally made our eyes to be able to see. In a way desensitizing us to it. I heard a song on the radio this morning on the way to class and some of the lyrics were,

"you're staring at the ceiling

but the stars are out tonight."

All I could think about was how people flock to churches to worship, raising there hands and eyes to the Father, and yet when they walk out the doors they never bother to look back up. I'm not against that atmosphere by any means, but sometimes we forget how big God is until we see his majesty all around us, not in the innovations of man but in the rawness of what has always been and always will be. I just want to look at those people and say, "you're staring at the ceiling, but the stars are out tonight!"

"He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since He is the Lord of heaven and earth, He doesn't live in man made temples." -Acts 17:24
