One
Little Window
In the bedroom of our motor home is one little
window that if I twist just so to my left I am able to look up into the night
and see a very limited view of the sky.
One sleepless
night I pulled up the shade and looked out to see the Little Dipper perfectly
framed right there in front of me! I was awe struck that I was able to it so
perfectly with such a restricted view.
When
I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the
moon and the stars, which you
have set in place… Psalm 8:3 NIV
According to Wikipedia, the Little Dipper is a
collection of perfectly aligned stars in a pattern called an asterism, and one
star is most well-known as the North Star. This is the star which has been the
most dependable and accurate navigation tool for thousands of years. The
scientist say only this star is stable and aligned perfectly with the earth’s
axis. Is our God awesome or what?
How unusual I thought, and on this particular night
when I had been lying awake praying for something or someone to show us how to
determine which way we were to go next. God reminded me-He is more than able. I
should always seek Him first! I asked myself, who could possibly know more
about what is good for us and what is the best choice for the best way to go
for decisions in life than God?
God loves using the small and unexpected things in
life to make point. The more than point to His abilities, they point to His
sovereignty. There is a little song by Mary, a little baby in a manager, a
single star, a cup of water, one small coin in the offering and the power of
faith in one little a mustard seed.
And who, but God, could reveal at a random viewing
in the night out one little window the Little Dipper with its perfectly placed
North Star to remind how a little prayer in faith can receive the impossible?
"Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the
impossible." Corrie ten Boom
