March 10 – Night Lights

The March full moon beamed through the lantern room of the Duluth North Pier Lighthouse when the two aligned perfectly for this photograph.

In reality, Earth’s rotation creates this alignment. While the moon does move slightly in its orbit, nearly 95% of the apparent motion we see comes from the steady turning of our planet.

The Earth completes one full rotation each day and one full orbit each year, creating the rhythm of time and the changing seasons through its motion and tilt. What a magnificent design for life — and a beautiful example of God’s glorious provision.

“He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.” — Psalm 104:19

It’s comforting to know that some things in life remain constant, like the precise clockwork of the universe. Remember that, according to God’s perfect plan, each of us has a specific number of days on this Earth before we meet Him face-to-face. So, look up and observe as the universal clock ticks away. Our days are numbered—make today count, there won’t be another like it.
