I doubt that you ever go out and stare at the sun -- you'd be blinded by its brilliance, and in the midst of summer, it's just too hot. It's overwhelming, and somewhat mind-boggling that it is 93 million miles from earth and we're still sweltering in its presence and unable to look upon it.
Then Scripture tells us that God is even more brilliant than the sun -- we won't need the sun someday, for God will be our light. We'll be able to draw near to God, despite God's radiance being brighter than the brightest sun. Our sin should separate us from God, but the sacrifice of Jesus Christ enables us to be in the presence of God and thrive! There is great hope for each of us due to what Christ has done for us! May we rejoice, and every day when you experience the heat of the sun, may we give thanks for the grace of God that will enable us to be in the presence of God someday!
