God's Got Your Back!

This evening at 180 we had a pretty cool experience! I wanted to show you a picture
of the time we spent praying before heading out to do a "beach sweep." Seeing the sunset from this photo was a cool reminder that no matter where we are or what we do, the sun rises and sets, and in that time frame we have the hours to praise our God for his sustaining care and provision for us. We each are given the day. God's simple gift to us. Another way of looking at a sunset? God's got your back! The sunset on the backs of the students in the picture here are a reminder of that. The sun will be back around the planet in 12 hours. As we rest, and God's blessing the other half of the planet with the evidence of His glory, be mindful that he has his heart towards us 24-7. The evidence of creation doesn't end wth the sunset, but continues with the dance of the moon and the stars. (Sound poetic?) When we wake, we have the chance to praise God. The sun may set, but God's still there watching over us. A quote from Psalm 113:3:

"From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised."
