Why Does the Sun Keep Moving? |
by David A. DePra |
| "Why does the sun keep moving? Why does it keep following |
| us when we drive in the car?" These were two questions my |
| young son asked me as we drove. To him, it seemed strange |
| that as we moved, the sun moved. He was too young to |
| understand that the sun wasn't moving at all. It is simply so big, |
| that, from our perspective, it seemed to be following us. |
| The SON is like this too. He never moves. He is the same |
| yesterday, today, and forever. It doesn't matter how much WE |
| move, vasillate, or turn away from Him. The Son remains in the |
| same place. Ever constant. Ever faithful. Ever eternal. |
| It sure seems like the Son is moving with us. It seems like He |
| is anything but stationary. But no. It is WE who are moving. It is |
| WE who are inconsistant. It is WE who turn this way and that, |
| casting shadows over here and over there. It is WE who turn |
| our backs to the light. The Son has never moved. He is where |
| He has always been. |
| Remarkably, we can turn all we want and run away all we want, |
| but the Son will seem to follow us. We cannot escape His love |
| nor His light. Yet He will not have changed. It's just that there is |
| no corner of all creation which is hidden from His presence, or |
| hidden from the victory which He has won. * |
