當我打開一扇窗 (When I've opened a window)

(English at the bottom)
五天之內,四天拍攝日出,三種不同景緻。
13.3.2018      6:29 a.m.
這麼早的時分起來,猶如被造物主召喚,
漫天火紅霞光短暫即逝。
本以為三月初春美景不及秋冬,
一月後已久沒有非常壯麗的日出,
怎知3月8日寒流後一天接一天,
上天佳作實難預測

這是三部曲最後一部,也最難忘
時間越早,天色越紅,感覺就越震撼
看見發光火紅朝霞散佈,
實在難以置信,壯麗如見主榮光!
原來西南風送來片片碎雲,
讓晨光盡情表演變幻色彩!

漫天紅霞光散佈,其實感覺不安,
因為像天空染紅著了火,雲向多方放射,像倒瀉地上的草莓奶昔!
只消三分鐘,紅色便變淡,褪變成金黃色,
但天邊盡頭仍留有數道紅線預告太陽所在:
6:32 a.m.
雲一直變色,再過片刻,
上有銀白雲,下有黃金雲:
6:41 a.m.
旭日即將出場,
距離旭日較遠的雲漸轉銀白,
沒有灰暗陰影更清麗;
金銀光朝霞散佈漫天:
6:53 a.m.
光芒將現,雲更金碧輝煌:
6:55 a.m.
只消等兩分鐘,晨光從山後跑出來,
難怪聖經描述太陽如勇士寬然奔路!
因天色好,上空乍現多道光芒:
6:57 a.m.
十分鐘後,光芒非常壯麗,
光芒線條如此對稱及廣闊
這是因為旭日被碎散分佈的雲霞所遮,
才會有如此多道光芒
7:06 a.m.
每隔一會,光芒的強弱與位置均不一,
因為視乎陽光被雲遮擋的角度/位置,
原來是陰影部分將光芒襯托出來;
光芒之間的陰影越黑,
光芒越見清晰,畫面更震撼!
7:07 a.m.
但兩分鐘後太陽再被雲遮擋,
近乎完全失去蹤影!
陽光被雲遮擋之處,
天空出現陰暗奇異線條:
7:09 a.m.
再過約二十分鐘,
旭日終於破除障礙,盡展光華,
白日升至山峰上,如黑山峰頂著白日!
黑山白日成對比:
7:17 a.m.
觀日出常有意外驚喜,這天觀日後有感:
『主,我感謝祢賜美景恩典,只有敬畏祢,
安心信靠祢的供應 
(猶如供應美景,往往出人意料)。』

閱讀每日經歷神同日(313)文章《耶穌必要重新調整你》,深有同感:
『也許你對神的信賴必須到一個你從未經歷的地步。
漁夫不可能一面待在船上,一面變成耶穌基督的門徒。
神在亞伯拉罕七十五歲那年,交給他一生最主要的使命。
以上這些人都需要中斷自己日常的工作,
好達到自己與神關係的更高峰。
同樣地,為了讓你能夠更進一步經歷祂,
祂會要求你作些調整。
你是否預備好讓基督更深地向你開啟祂自己,
改變你的生命?
你願意放棄個人的安適嗎?』

當我無意中打開一扇窗,
原來神更深入地讓我體會祂的創造奇工!
日、月、雲、海等等,
原來足以揭示主的精妙設計、
見證主的真實大能及對世人的眷顧,
留待人去讚嘆、敬畏祂!

從欣賞山水之美,
神更深地向我開啟祂自己,
既更明白祂的屬性,也更明白真理,
亦與祂建立更緊密同行關係,
從而改變我的生命!
放棄個人安適,最少需要早起,
欣賞美景總是令我樂此不疲!

Morning clouds in flame and radiating crepuscular rays

This was the third sunrise that I've taken photos of 
among 5 days after the cold front arrived on 9 March.
There were two 'first time' scenery in today's sunrise:
morning clouds flamed red and radiating crepuscular rays.
These two scenes had not been seen so far among the 31 sunrises 
that I've watched in the past half-year's time.
They were gifts from the God which I should share with you.

The explanation in the article ‘Christ must reorient you’ 
for 13 March in the book 'Experiencing God Day by Day' 
has matched perfectly with my personal experience:
“Perhaps you need to trust God to a degree you never have before. 
The fishermen could not remain in their fishing boats 
and become apostles of Jesus Christ. 
Abraham was seventy-five years old 
when God gave him his major life assignment. 
These men had to disrupt their comfortable routine 
in order to reach new heights in their relationship with their Lord. 
Likewise, in order to experience God to the degree He wants you to, 
there will be adjustments He will ask of you. 
Are you prepared for Christ to reveal Himself to you 
in dimensions that will change your life? 
Are you willing to abandon that which makes you comfortable?”

For when I’ve opened a window 
(I didn’t know that I could watch sunrise from the window),
God has helped me understand the wonder of His Creation.
Don’t look down on light and darkness.
The sun, the moon, clouds, and sea, 
all reveal the perfect designs of God
in His Creation of this beautiful Earth and the universe,
which wait for people to understand and praise, and respect Him.

God has asked me to adjust my way of living 
in order to lead me to a deeper spiritual journey!
God has revealed Himself much more to me,
so that I could understand His character and His Word,
and build up a closer relationship with Him in order to change my life.
By sharing personal insights through this blog,
this blog has also become an opportunity to witness Him.
‘Abandon that which makes you comfortable’ for me implies:
at least getting up earlier in the morning; 
using considerable time to record, analyze, describe, and share;
but I always feel very joyous and great excitement in doing so!
