Sometimes the sky erupts with color at the end of the day, like a final word from the Creator before the night overtakes the sky.

One day last week I was feeling especially unsettled and fearful of the future and I caught a sliver of hot pink and orange coming from the back window. I decided to step outside and just take it in for a few minutes hoping it would calm me down. In my heart I heard the Lord saying, "You've forgotten who I am." Yes, Maker of the earth and the heavens. Author of the raging sun. The One who set all systems in place. The Lover of my soul.

His final word before the darkness of night swept in set my troubles in correct perspective. "Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth." Psalm 124:8
