I went to buy a light bulb yesterday. It was a near-stress experience.

As I looked down the long aisle, I was overwhelmed with confusion. It’s impossible to buy a normal light bulb anymore.

It’s all super-duper lumens and halogens vs. fluorescent vs. light emitting diodes and energy efficiency ratings and environmental protection and 22.8 year guarantees. Seriously! Save your receipt!

Heavenly Creator, do you smile at our technological advances?
Do the package labels promising “long life” and “energy savings” and “instant on” amuse you?

You who have studded the sky with the brilliance of stars and a moon that has shown us the way to the forgiveness of sins and everlasting life. . .
Guaranteed for eternity. . .
No receipt necessary. . .

“To Him who made the great lights, His love endures forever.
The sun to rule by day, for His love endures forever.
The moon and stars to rule by nights, for His love endures forever.” – Psalm 136:7-8

HE loves us unconditionally.
