Total Eclipse: A Testament to God’s Glory
The Total Eclipse: A Testament to God’s Glory
April 8th, 2024 is finally here!
As the moon moves between the earth and the sun, millions of people will witness a long-awaited (and rare) Total Eclipse.
For those of you lucky enough to be in the direct path (and if it’s a sunny day), you’ll see the landscape around you plunge into darkness during those moments of totality.
Will it be cloudy?
Am I going to see anything?
Do these eclipse glasses even work?
By the way, be very, very careful where you purchase your eclipse glasses. You need special glasses (not regular sunglasses) to protect your eyesight.
Make sure the lenses are scratch-free, safe to use, and most importantly from a reputable source.
This phenomenal celestial event, which we are privileged to witness, is yet another reason to praise God.
I don’t know about you, but I’ll probably be emotional.
My husband and I plan to sit out on our porch to watch the amazing sight.
Don’t miss the significance of this!
The total eclipse is a testament to God’s glory.
Only He deserves our praise and worship.
Delight in God Our Creator Through the Total Eclipse
As Christians, we know that all the earth praises the Lord.
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
2 Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His heavenly armies!
3 Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!
4 Praise Him, highest heavens,
And the waters that are above the heavens!
5 They are to praise the name of the Lord,
For He commanded and they were created.
6 He has also established them forever and ever;
He has made a decree, and it will not pass away. – Psalm 148: 1-6, (NASB).
Since the sun and moon are big news this week, how would you like to hear the sounds of the sun?
I’ve heard them, and now you can too.
It may sound monotonic and meaningless to us as humans, but to God, it is one of the sounds of His Creation.
How great is our God!
Granted, what many will witness on April 8th is spectacular, but nothing will be better than the excitement and joy of spending eternity with God in heaven.
Nothing can overshadow that.
