A Stunning Display of God’s Creation
A Can’t Be Missed Stunning Display of God’s Creation
One of the most breathtaking sights the world has to offer, in my opinion, is the Aurora Borealis.
It’s always been a dream of mine to go to Alaska and witness this natural phenomenon and stunning display of Gods creation.
Ahhh, some day.
I don’t know about you, but I’m awestruck just looking at some of the stunning photos of the northern lights on the internet.
A symphony of brilliant colors literally dance across the sky.
How can people not believe in our Creator God when they see something like this?
And how can people not believe in our Creator God when they see a broken life transformed through the saving knowledge of salvation through Christ alone?
God is good, all the time.
Only He can create such a beautiful phenomenon as the Aurora Borealis.
If you can’t go see this stunning light display in person, like me, you can soak in the photos and the videos online.
A welcome breather from all of the political news, right?
The Aurora Borealis Explained
So what exactly are the Northern Lights?
I’ll leave that explanation to the experts.
The Northern Lights are actually the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun’s atmosphere.– Northern Lights Centre.1
If you live in Alaska or Finland, your chances of seeing the Northern Lights are excellent.
But here’s something even better . . .
Do you know what will be even more grand than seeing the Northern Lights?
No earthly beautiful thing, even the Aurora Borealis, will ever be able to compare with being in Heaven with our Savior.
Can you imagine the complete joy and excitement to finally be in His presence?
God’s Creation On Display: The Aurora Borealis
Thinking about that future joy reminded me of a great video I saw recently.
This video features a sweet family with their young son seeing the northern lights in Fairbanks for the first time.
As you will see and hear, you don’t have to be a five year old child to enjoy the wonder of God’s creation.
The video is a little longer than what I normally post, but it’s worth the watch.
This, my brothers and sisters in Christ, is just a foretaste of our humility, wonder, and joy when we receive our eternal lives in Heaven.
That promise is why I delight in God.
What do you think your reaction will be when you see Jesus in Heaven?
After falling humbly at His feet in reverence, I think our happiness will turn to shouts of joy similar to the video above.
As God promised victory to Israel over her enemies so long ago, likewise when Jesus returns, the enemies of our faith will be defeated.
Hallelujah!
But the righteous shall be glad; they shall exult before God; they shall be jubilant with joy! – Psalm 68:3, (NASB).
