Isaiah 60:19 -- On Stretching Our Imaginations

"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory."
Isaiah 60:19


This verse is talking about the last days, when at some point apparently we won't really need the sun or the moon anymore to provide light, since we will have God to provide that for us instead.  I think that is such an interesting, and kind of stunning, thought. 

Even though on some level we believe that God can do anything and that he created the universe, the whole "not needing the sun" thing still has the power to make us wonder just how amazing God is.  It's hard to imagine something that makes the sun obsolete.  But that is *exactly* how cool God is, and not so much of a big deal in terms of his power.

Today, let's stretch our faith and our imaginations a little bit more when we think about God and the possibilities of eternity.  I don't think that we are even close yet to imagining all the wonders and blessings that the Lord has in store for us.  Let's listen to, learn from, and love the Lord.  In so doing, perhaps someday we will begin to grasp his great plan of happiness a little bit better. :)
