Autumn equinox       21.9.2024

Autumnal equinox tomorrow

Great excitement building in the sky

The stars clamoring and cheering

Praising our Great God’s name on high!

The great globe of our planet

The tilting away from the sun

A new season in the offing

New times, new moments to come..

A day when dark and light

Ideas,  photons,  illuminations

Will be equal in time

What a work of great thought and imagination!

God’s plans are brilliant

Not staid or mundane,  no Sir!

His timings are perfect

No room for complaints or murmurs…

The two hemispheres of the earth

Divided by imaginary lines

But God has revealed these by His Spirit

His ways are perfect,  so well defined..

Another hundred days of this year to go

We need to learn to number our days

The only guarantee we have are His promises

That nothing stands in His way…

He calls the light to be

And the darkness runs and hides

He makes the visible from the invisible

And He longs to live in our hearts, abide..

So listen to the eternal clock ticking

The infallible spinning of the ground neath our feet

And fall down in awe and worship

This is our God, Immanuel, gentle and sweet..

Slow down a minute, fellow traveler

Look up at the expanse of skies

They sing a song of faithfulness

And we are watched by God’s own eyes…
