Unfathomable

Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Advent

All the earth bows down before you,

sings to you, sings out your Name.

Psalm 66:3

The intricate patterns bare branches trace across the winter grey sky. The rusty orange of remnant leaves. The pools of bright warmth the sun casts inside and out. The sharp freshness of cold air.

All around me God’s creation reveals beauty, possibility, and connection that is more than I can fathom. And with awe I await the most unfathomable gift, given once, given still. Come, Jesus.
