Maundy Thursday

Did you get a chance to see the full moon tonight? As it rose over the U.S. Capitol, I remembered that the same moon shone in its fullness on Moses and the people of Israel as the Angel of Death passed over them in Egypt thousands of years ago. And that same moon lit the Garden of Gethsemane as Jesus prayed there the night he was betrayed. So much has transpired over the ages, but God is the same yesterday, today and always. I was reminded of this as I gazed at the Moon which He set in the heavens at the beginning of time.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; ...to Him who made the heavens with skill ... the moon and the stars to rule by night, for His lovingkindness is everlasting" (Psalm 136 1, 5, 9).
