{Day 158}

October 11, 2011

This was filmed by Terje Sorgjerd over the course of 8 days in El Teide where Spain’s highest mountain rises up. Do yourself a favor and head over here to read what he has to say about it. It is amazing.

You see this caught my attention because in the pitch black of night I love to throw my head back and look up at the stars and the beauty above. You know where it looks like a scarf you could imagine from a fairy tale of Arabian nights? All lush fabric glittering with jewels. Looking at the stars and the beauty of the heavens leaves me in wonder and amazement. It gets me so excited I want to jump up and down and never shut up about how incredible it is. It makes my soul want to do back flips… More than that though it leaves me awed. At the beauty and majesty of it all. (If I really get started this post will go on and on so I shall refrain) Yet it goes far deeper than that for me because it reminds me of the One who I love. The God I serve that spoke it all into being. Literally countless number of stars that are part of countless galaxies. Mind blown. And then there is me. A tiny speck on a little planet but the God of this universe loves me. HE loves me. He LOVES me. He loves ME! And that right there makes me feel what the most incredible of words cannot describe. It makes me want to worship. It makes me unbelievably grateful that I am his.

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.” (Psalm 19:1-2)

The sky is one of my favorite parts of his creation. Its beauty never ceases to amaze me.

I totally understand that feeling, but it is awakened in me with by different things. Mountains, hills, open prairies with blue skies do the trick for me.

Does anyone know what song is playing with this video? Or know the artist name or something?
