As our family anticipates the upcoming debut of the movie Les Miserables, I'm struck with the anticipation of something wonderful, almost other worldly, like this story coming to film. So much of life in this world is surrounded by an infatuation or awe with things that amaze and inspire us. This hits home each day while driving east to work during the splendor of the morning sunrise and then driving west with a display of a glorious sunset. I'm convinced that greatness directs my eyes to God and beyond this world. Quite often, life includes endurance and forbearance (grit and humility). Yet, there are these sign posts each day that remind us that this world is not the "end-all-be-all" and that there is greatness, beauty and peace beyond our imagination in Christ our Lord.
"That you may know.......what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all." Ephesians 1: 19-23
