This is the day
that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.*
Psalm 118.24
Ever get up to watch a snow-sunrise?
There’s just something magical and splendid about seeing the
sun peek into the world in winter. As
soon as its rays touch the snow, they reflect out into a brilliant color that
for a moment—fills the world in a wonderful way. It teaches the eternal truth that we are
created to reflect God’s light. Annie
Dillard writes about “the light uncreated.”
Now, imagine when that Light hits us and for sometimes only a moment—we see
ourselves with something of the delight which God has for creation—and us. We are part of that day that the Lord has
created. Is there ever enough joy to be
glad in that gift?
