By His Very Breath September 13, 2011

Job 26:13 By His breath, the heavens gained their beauty.

I shared this verse with M & J earlier today after we had experienced our first glimpse of the Northern Lights last night. I talked with them about how it was this same breath that breathed life into man. Tonight, upon seeing the Northern Lights display again, J said, “It is amazing that the same breath that created this gave us life.” This comment began a little dialogue.

Mom: Yes, I just pray that I am as beautiful as these lights.

J: I think God thinks we’re even more beautiful.

Mom: I don’t know…my sin is pretty ugly.

J: But Mom…you’ve been washed in the blood of the Lamb…you’re beautiful to Him.

Wow! I don’t know which was the more spectacular display…the lights or my son’s wisdom.
