Today is the longest day of the year. It is the official beginning of summer. (Coulda fooled me. Here in my part of Texas, it’s been in the 90sF for several weeks already. That’s summer in my book!)
On Sunday will be the super moon- the time the full moon is the closest to the earth all year so it looks super-sized.
Many ancient pagan rituals evolve around these two events. Those cultures felt as if the gods were especially close during this time of the year, so it was the best time to summon them. Maybe they would listen.
But Christians have the Son year round, and for eternity. He’s the creator of the sun and the moon. Everyday is the longest day and every night is dispelled by the brightness of His love. We don’t have to wait for a certain time of year when He draws near. We have God’s attention whenever we lift our prayers and hearts to Him, and even when we forget to do so.
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night. Psalm 121:5-6
