Creative and creating God, thank you for creating the universe with its vast galaxies. And thank you for creating me, infinitely tiny in comparison but precious in your sight. Amen.
The God of 150 billion galaxies cares about me.
This was the moon rise in a Washington sky a couple of summers ago. It reminded me that I'm not the center of the universe (thank goodness!).
How would your life change if you were able to keep God at the center rather than other things?
I got to study under Glenn Hinson a few years ago when he was a presenter at my Academy for Spiritual Formation. I had always loved this book, but hearing him speak brought the pages of the book more alive for me. In this book, he examines the spiritual preparation of the ordinary people who were invited to become Christian leaders and saints. The quote from Spiritual Preparation that we used in The Uncluttered Heart is one of my favorite Upper Room gems. (Today's words for the day come from that quote.) I'm sad to say this book has gone out of print, but you might be able to get a copy through amazon.com.
