Eclipse of the Son

"He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; He suspends the earth over nothing"- Job 26:7 (NIV).

Have you heard this idiom? "You can't see the forest for the trees." There are moments when the very thing we are looking for is right in front of us, but we can't see it. The 2017 Solar Eclipse occurred directly over our house yesterday. We watched as the sun was completely blacked out by the moon displaying the corona. It struck me this morning, on my drive into work, that I never saw the moon. The moon moved directly between us and the sun. How could the moon, large enough to black out the sun, go unseen? We were looking directly at it. Many times we are looking directly at our problems, anxious that we don't see God intervening on our behalf, then quite unexpectedly, He's there and the problem becomes blacked out. God moves in mysterious ways. "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and His paths beyond tracing out!" (Romans 11:33). We cannot trace out the path of the moon during a solar eclipse, nor can we trace out the path of God. Trust Him to always be there, my friend, and know that God is on the move.
