The moon reflects the sun and so shall we reflect the Son and in so doing bring joy to the Father. I have stood gazing out my back window for nearly 20 minutes tonight taking in the Moon's amazing ability to reflect such great light, with out doing anything but standing in the path of it's light.
We are to be like that, in standing in the path that God alone has carved out for us, laying down our life and standing up in the path of HIS light we are the Light.
The moon appeared to be on fire tonight as the clouds try to block the suns rays from shining. It was as though it was not willing to go dim, but how often do we bow to our ways, our selfishness and let our light flicker and be dim.

As I took this photo I realized my exposure setting was not letting the light into the camera. This is what we must look like to the world when we do not reflect the LOVE and LIGHT of the LORD that we say we WORSHIP.

In this last photo (actually number 30+) I realized that the glass window was causing a double reflection and off shadow of the moon (see just to the right) and it occurs to me that we are sometimes the only 'reflection' of Christ in human form that some one may encounter. For His creation, screams that there must be a creator and we are to say there is a Savior as well.
Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
2 Corinthians 4:5-7
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:6-8
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
God was and is and is to come...
