The article notes: "Alexander Gerst captured these incredible images of it from aboard the International Space Station...The orbiting station is 220 miles above Earth."
As you can see in the photo below, Mr. Gerst states: "I don't know any words, in any language, to match the beauty of an orbital sunrise."
I do, Mr. Gerst: I know of words from the One who created the sunrise.
David, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and speaking about the LORD God, said:
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Psalms 19:1-6
"They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice." Psalms 65:8
These scriptures always come to mind when I behold the beauty of a sunrise or sunset, or view the moon and stars on a clear night. I agree with Mr. Gerst: a sunrise is a beautiful sight. Even more beautiful is to know the One who made it.
Paul.
