It’s a dreary, rainy day. Sunshine is promised for later, but it’s my desire to crawl back into bed until the sun does come out. I am without joy or motivation in the meantime.
I am reminded, however, that I used to fly a lot. It was always amazing, and sometimes a bit scary, to fly on a day like today. As the plane gained altitude, you might encounter turbulence and frightful conditions, but eventually you break through the clouds and enter the realm of blue sky and sunshine. It’s really always there. We just don’t always see it.
I have been through some “cloudy” and “rainy” days lately. Sometimes I can remember that if I can just get “high” enough, if I can get close enough to God, the dark clouds will be below me and sunshine and blue sky will be within view.
If we can get close enough to God, we can share, at least a little, of His perspective. He’s always above the clouds. He can see higher and further than we can. It’s always beautiful up where He is.
Next time it seems dark and dreary in your life. Close you eyes and commune with God. Ask Him to share His vision and perspective with you until the rain stops and the clouds clear and it’s sunny once again.
Be blessed.
Nick
