Last night was the full moon of February. It was dubbed as the "Snow Moon" because of the heavy snowfall during this month in the northern regions of the world during their winter.❄️ I looked outside our window in the eastern sky where the full moon was, however the sky was blanketed with thick, dark clouds which were moving rapidly, as if a rain was on its way.🌨️ However, the moon was brightly beaming in a peek-a-boo with the altocumulus and altostratus clouds which were forming different shapes as they passed by. 🌕☁️ I took photos and even a video of the moon as it appeared and disappeared through the clouds from time to time... The moon was magnificent but the dark clouds that surrounded it, cast an eerie spell!😳 As you can see from my photos, one formation the clouds made was like the head of a dragon🐲 with the moon as its 'eye!' I was quite terrified... We often hear about frightening stories during a full moon which made me tremble a bit! Tonight's full moon was really unusual, there were no howling of dogs to be heard, but the atmosphere was strange! Nonetheless, I recall a Bible verse that the moon should not be feared, so I gathered my thoughts and just stood there watching the moon played hide and seek with the clouds. It was then that I noticed several other stunning and fascinating formations the clouds made! I'm thinking about sharing them all here later, but for now, enjoy these 'dragon head' moon photos and these reassuring message... https://psalm.bible/psalm-121:5-6 "The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night." The books of Psalms was written by King David. You see, David was a shepherd boy before he became king. He was always out in the fields, tending to his father's flock.🐑Oftentimes, he stayed there until night and slept out in the open under the sky. He wasn't afraid of being alone in the wild outdoors.🏕️ Why would a young David be in the meadows when he would one day become king? Isn't he supposed to be in training in the palace rather than working in the pasture? Actually, David was not expected to be king because he was the youngest, rather the oldest child would have been... But the blessing befell him because he found favor in the eyes of the Lord! What was it that he did that caused God to be so pleased and delighted with him?🤔 David had a pure, trustworthy, and courageous heart...💙 His situation being a shepherd didn't discouraged or scared him but rather, he believed and trusted God for his life and safety. He looked up at the night sky, watching the sunset, moon, stars and clouds... and these served as inspiration for him! He composed poetry and music. But these weren't worldly, lonely, or destructive sentiments rather, they were inspired by his acknowledgement of God's majesty, that it was God Who created all these heavenly bodies! And so, he worshiped the God of heaven and earth, rather than His creations. He found refuge and comfort in the Creator, and he was not afraid of anything he encountered. So God loved this shepherd boy and turned him into a king.👑 What a wonderful source of inspiration for all of us! I always tell this story about David to my sons to encourage them not to be afraid... and to do whatever task they've been assigned while not thinking highly of themselves. Because God favors those who are lowly and humble in spirit!😇 And no matter what situation we are in, no matter how difficult or low a job we have, God will bring us up to the pinnacle of our career at the appropriate time! Instead of murmuring and complaining, we must strive to do our best, be grateful and maintain a cheerful attitude.😀 Happy Thursday Noisemates!
