Description
I love it when God gives us fleeting moments of captivating light when we’re not expecting it or ready for it. In photography, just as in life, these brief interludes teach us to be grateful and also to use the tools at hand. Moses, when he felt inadequate for the job, protested that he didn’t have the right tools to approach Pharaoh. God’s replied, “what’s that in your hand?” “A staff” he replied. Then God instructed him to use it to accomplish what seemed impossible.
On this day I sat at my kitchen window having coffee. I had already checked the eastern sky to see if there were enough breaks in the clouds to allow light to illuminate the mountains to the west. It didn’t look promising so I didn’t set up a tripod for sunrise. Then, without warning this scene unfolded before me. Sprinting to grab my camera it had a telephoto lens on it from the night before. In my mind I’m protesting that it’s going to be too long and too hard to hand hold to do the scene justice. I wanted a tripod and another lens but the delay would certainly cost me the moment. Although I captured several images, this was my first and my favorite. Morning's Whisper.
Sometimes we just have to meet God where we’re at and use what we have in our hands.
