My grandson recently photographed one of God’s spectacular sunsets, with a silhouette of thistles in the foreground. God paints the heavens in pastel hues of pink and blue. We stand in awe amazed at the majesty of His artistry.

The sunset fades as the sun goes down. But, the resplendent beauty of the moment remains engraved in our minds forever.

The Bible provides a snapshot of David’s life, capturing his magnificent victories and his agonizing defeats. David considered himself an ordinary child of God. We consider him an extraordinary child of God. We stand in awe of his accomplishments. We are fascinated by his steadfast love for God. His life is vivid in our minds.

A life on earth may be brief, but as a child of God, it becomes spectacular. A Christian shines as a bright light. He radiates an aura of God’s love. We stand amazed at the magnitude of a Christian’s influence. Brilliant hues surround each person he contacts. That illumination remains carved in our hearts forever.

Will we be remembered as one whose life glowed with the radiance of God?
