Starry Sky

Source: From anime Bakemonogatari Episode 12. I would like to put the photo that I seen from the airplane window, but my handphone camera is not so good to capture the scene.

How beautiful the sky is, how beautiful is the horizon. Beneath the sky is the ground, dark ground, but with some lights from the houses. On top is also dark, the dark sky, but with some lights, from the sky. A starry sky, a sky decorated by the starry hosts. As you moving down toward the ground, the dark sky is slowly replace by blue hue, from dark blue, slowly to light blue. But from cold colour, it slowly change to warm colour, from light blue, slowly it enlightened with some orange hue, and become red, or should I say, bright orange. Between the sky and the horizon, is clearly demarcated by distinctive clear border of the ground. As the plane slowly moves toward the east, the dark side of the sky is slowly replaced with more blue hue. Rather than the dark ground, what is seen is clouds, many fluffy clouds, so closely arranged that they form a canopy that cover the whole ground. Sometime the sky is so overwhelmed with clouds that even the blue sky is covered. The plane is moving through a bunch of clouds, a cloud nine. The cloud is so thick that even the plane will wavers. But as the plane moves through the clouds, layers by layers the clouds go away, and what remains is the sun that has rise up at the east, which brings light to the sky and to the world, and took away the darkness. And the clouds beneath reflecting the light, but at the same time the clouds give out shadows that pointed away from the sun. How magnificient, how wonderful, how amazing. Who paints this wonderful sky? Who decorates it with starry hosts? Who created all these glorious nature?


Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing.
(Isaiah 40:26 ESV)

It has been a long time for not sitting beside the window. It has been a long time for staying up throughout this lonely night because of insomnia. But it is this time that I sit beside the window, it is this time that I stay up throughout the night, and it is this time that I see this wonderful view, starry sky.


For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
(Romans 1:19-20
ESV)

The wonder of this nature is reflecting the glorious glory of the Creator. Creation doesn't prove the existence of God, but only with the existence of God that creation was created.
