I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me!

I look at your heavens,
    which you made with your fingers.
I see the moon and stars,
    which you created.
But why are people even important to you?
    Why do you take care of human beings?

Psalm 8:3-4

As I was leaving for work this morning, I noticed the full moon.  It's silvery brightness lit the sky.  Honestly, I took a few extra minutes to stare at God's creation and my mind shifted into "contemplative mode."  

Think about this for a moment: We don't always see the moon.  Some nights we only see part of the moon and some nights no moon is visible. Does that mean the moon, or part of the moon merely vanishes only to pop back in from time to time for a visit?  Now....let's think about how we view God.  Sometimes we can see Him all around us.  Sometimes it's as if He's merely peeking through the clouds at us.  Sometimes we wonder if He's there at all.

Just because we can't always SEE the full moon does not mean the moon has disintegrated in part of in full.  The moon is always there whether WE see it or not.  And guess what?  God is with us whether WE see Him at work or not.  Faith is believing that God is always with us, working everything in the Universe to fulfill His plan for us, whether we see it or not.
