"Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming."
As Isaac went out to ponder, to muse or wait upon the Lord, he lifted up his eyes and as it was, gazed I believe, into the face of God. Revealed in the pinks and oranges and the purples of the darkening sky, the setting sun revealing the glory of the Lord that brought peace and hope and a new found rest in the faithfulness of God. For Isaac, the Lord's answer lay close upon the horizon. For us today, it's much the same, although we too often miss God in the sunburst of daybreak, the full moon rising and illuminating the night sky, and yes, the glorious sunset and the twinkling stars, all declaring the glory of God. Busyness, rush, worry, discouragement, tiredness, all seek to rob God's people of the face to face encounters that await us in varying ways. Child of God, go seek Him today for all He has for you.
