under the canopy

i'm sitting underneath the most beautiful display i've seen in awhile.
in a dark field
away from light
i can see each star twinkle.
each light spark off and on.

a shooting star flies over my left.

i see a street light behind me
and see how we once again blot out
God's glory.
we ignorantly retard it
thinking that this well help.
that our efforts will bring us closer.

our efforts are useless.
we cannot draw close to a God whose "street light" is the sun.

we cannot fathom His wisdom
we cannot understand His ways.
we have only to humbly ask for Him to draw us close.

He brings us
He calls us
He began the rescue
And He will finish the war.

we can only ask to be His children
and for Him to show us a measure of grace
and allows us to be His.

awaken our souls.
still our minds.
may the nature that proclaims Your glory
always bring us to a halt.

.You'rebeautiful.
