Lit up

Light light light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me You are with me
I I I can't deny
No I can't deny that You are right here with me
You've opened my eyes
So I can see You all around me
Light light light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me
That You are with me

Light Up the Sky - The Afters

A drift of fluffy clouds hung in the sky, pewter grey mixed with steel blue.  Across the lower edges, though, a deepening wash of coral pink, like a child's cheeks when they come in from the cold.  What a gorgeous sunrise this morning.

Only it wasn't the eastern sky over which this display was spread, but the western.  The rising sun reached out to kiss the clouds with the promise of the day to come.

Life is like that.  When we are facing storm clouds, when life is confused, restricting, and out of sorts God sends a bit of sunshine to remind us that even then, He is with us.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10
