The details and events of our earth life are tangible and can teach us, symbolically, of spiritual things that are not so easily perceived. Yesterday morning, I awoke to this beautiful scene at sunrise. The lighting was striking due to the cloud cover over the rising sun on the east side of the valley. This marvel was fleeting, the rich colors lasting just a few minutes. No time for the DSLR; just me and my iPhone. Five minutes later and I never would have known what I had missed. So it is as we try to understand and apply spiritual truths. There are moments in which God speaks to our souls with beautiful spiritual colors. Are we awake? Are we checking the morning horizon? Or are we sleeping in spiritually? May we be ready for the spiritual promptings God is sending our way?
