Psalm 90:10, 12
Who hasn’t felt a surge of anticipation while mentally standing on tiptoe, straining to see what lies ahead? Even the writers of a weekly news magazine tried to look beyond today. They didn’t try many predictions, but they did ask some sweeping questions. Among them:
Is America in retreat?
Is public education doomed?
Has terror become the new normal?
Is there any cause for hope?
That last one is really the root issue, isn’t it? Unless we have hope, it could mean some pretty dismal years in front of us. Shakespeare’s “seeds of time” might very well be scattered and dangerously thinned out by the next century.

Romans 1:19–20
Sometimes there’s more life-changing power in looking to the heavens than just about anything else.
That thought struck me when I took time to walk deep in the redwoods years ago. I laid back and looked up . I mean really up . through the trees. It was one of those clear summer nights when you could see forever. So starry it was awe-inspiring. The vastness of the heavens spoke eloquently. The stars were mute reminders of the glory of God.
No words would adequately frame the impact of that moment. I remembered the words of the English poet Edward Young: “Wonder is involuntary praise.” That night, ithappened to me. I loved the spontaneous time of worship!
