Light

Posted by calebnei - 01/09/09 at 10:09:30 am

I watched a YouTube video of the first successful hydrogen bomb test in Britain.[1] On a scale of “bright things” I suppose you have things like the sun, welding torches, bald heads. But exploding bombs would be right up there.

On the video the soldiers talked about being there. This experimental bomb was detonated 8000 feet in the air 20 miles away. They were instructed to wear sunglasses and cover their eyes with their hands.

And then the explosion. It happened.

A flash of light so bright even covering your eyes with your hands couldn’t keep it out. The soldiers said they could see the bones in their hands as the light came right through the flesh.

That’s bright!

We know that the stuff of this earth is just a reflection of the glory of the God who created it all. Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised then, that some of the angels in God’s presence have wings to cover their faces.[2]

Remember Moses on the mountain? He would talk with God, and his face would glow for days. Just a residual glow from being in the presence of such glory.[3]

Can you imagine?  A light so bright it shows right through your hands?

The most amazing experiences of this earth should just remind us of a God who is even more great, more glorious, brighter and more brilliant.
