Balloon Classic, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Novelty balloons draw a great deal of attention at the Colorado Springs Balloon Classic. Most of the balloons are typical bulb shapes, yet every year there is at least one balloon that doesn't fit the standard.
Like the sun, this balloon had a rising and setting.
"Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!" Psalm 113:1-3 English Standard Version
This Scripture can be contemplated in two spheres.
First of all, it can be viewed from the realm of time. The sun marks the time of day. It reminds us that our God walks with us from our rising until we go to bed, and even as we sleep.
Second, the psalmist's word can be examined from the realm of space. The sun marks the place where we live. As it travels through the sky, the sun reminds us that no matter where we live God walks with us.
Whether we observe these words of the psalmist from the position of space or time, we are called to praise the name of the God who walks with us at all times and in all places.
Today we are called to praise the name of the God who has revealed himself to us in the Son of Righteousness, Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.
