Psalm 29:1-2
Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name; worship the Lord in holy splendor.

Busy morning. Lots going on. "Pastor, do you have a minute..."  "I just need you to sign this...."  "Call your dentist office...."  and in the middle of it all a glance at a computer screen ....a news photo....it is a NASA picture taken by the Hubble telescope of a cluster of stars, galaxies in their infancy, a billion years old now.  It has taken the light that long to travel.  Sometimes I think that God created the universe in layers over time in such a way that on a busy morning when it feels like chaos, we can catch a glimpse of divine splendor.  Worship is the best stress reliever.

Wow, God, you are amazing.  Amen.
