12 Blogs of Christmas Day 8: Being Better At... Worshipping


HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ever wondered what the view is like from the International Space Station?

At the beginning of a New Year it’s good to be reminded of how great AND good God is. 

In this stunning 2 minute time-lapse video we’re shown the view from the window of the ISS. It’s yet another reminder that in grace, God didn’t just create a functional world for us to enjoy, but also one that is breathtakingly beautiful.


‘The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine.’

(James Irwin, Apollo 15 Astronaut)

‘The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.' (Psalm 19:1-4)
