Opus 2026-111: Ego Trip

Have you ever had scenarios that you feel like God prepared specifically for you?  It was that way a bit this morning.  It was a warm morning after a cold spell.  Later in the week it’ll get colder again.  That morning was about 64° and a perfect morning for sitting on the porch.  I got out just enough before sunrise to see the spread of pink and gray breaking up the blue sky.  It became a very nice sunrise.  The birds started chirping predicting that the sun was coming.  I had forgotten about that.  It’s been so long since I’ve been out here at this time of day.

And I got to thinking, as I thanked the Lord for His artwork, about how you had to be sitting in this specific spot to see the spread of clouds, the outline of the oak trees, the hills in the distance and having this specific ensemble of birds.  Did God prepare the morning just for me?  I seriously doubt it on one side yet on the other, knowing the mentality of God, it’s very possible.

How could He prepare this morning for me and prepare it also for other people who might be worshiping Him at this time?  The thought came to me that there are some mornings when it is really special because there are some mornings when there aren’t that many people in the audience.  Some mornings I may be up when most are still asleep.  I noticed those that are up are busy driving to work or inside the house preparing to go to work.  It’s very possible that some days I get a better sunrise simply because there’s less competition.

Or it could just be that God is so spectacular, so talented and so infinite that it is no problem setting up all the physics to meet the aesthetic requirements of His people.  I am filled with joy at either prospect.
