The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Psalm 19:1 (KJV)
I write this blog on June 20, 2024 at about 6:25 PM. The summer solstice occurred just 2 hours ago. That is the point, for the northern hemisphere, where the Earth is at its maximum tilt toward the sun. That means that this is officially the longest day of the year- the day with the most hours of sunlight in our hemisphere. Yes, wonderful sunlight- it is summer!
I am amazed, as my readers know, with the beauty and symmetry of seasons, and indeed, Creation itself. If that axis tilt of the earth was just a bit off, there would be no life on earth! So today we celebrate the start of summer in the northern hemisphere, and we also celebrate the Creator whose design was perfect. The creatures who populate that earth are not so perfect, but the Creator loves them just the same.
How cool is that?!
Prayer: Lord, we celebrate the Creation and the Creator! Amen
