God: King of the Road

So today I drove from Carbondale to Rockford.  Essentially I drove through all of Illinois.  It was a long and flat drive.  Nevertheless, God showed himself to me.  Have you ever seen the sun shine through the clouds to where you could legitimately see the rays shining through the clouds to the ground. When I was young I used to think that was how angels traveled to the Earth.  HAHA.  Even though Illinois is notorious for its flat, flat, roads it was so open that i got to see so many rays shine through the clouds to the ground.  It was beautiful.  I also go to drive during the sunset.   Let me tell you, the sunset couldn't have been painted more beautifully.

The drive should have taken about 5 hours and 45 minutes but it ended up taking 7 hours and 15 minutes to make the trip.  I am glad that God put the many stops in my way, otherwise I would not have gotten to witness some of his amazing beauty.  As I was driving I could look out across the fields and/or the plains and see the sun rays or I could see the sunset in bright pink and blue colors.

In Psalm 8, David talks about how God created the Earth and the universe and everything else and how he put us humans in charge of taking care of such creations.  This is a heavy load!  I do not believe that God would have put us in charge if he did not feel that we could take on the burden.  Now I am not the most reliable when it comes to recycling, or cleaning up the road, But I do try to do my best at making sure that I use up less energy, that I don't waste food, and that I support causes that take of the Earth as much as I can.  My challenge to all of you is to to play your part in taking care of God's beautiful creation.  If you live in Illinois, I can understand how much you hate the roads when traveling, but remember that there are other roads out there with beautiful scenery to view.

I hope that you enjoyed this blog, it was kind of rough I know, but it is what God put on my heart for tonight.  Again, thanks for reading, and don't forget to spread the Jesus! 

God Bless!
