Received this 'initially thought awesome sunrise photo ' from my niece this early morning. And to my horror, she revealed it was not a sunrise glow. But perhaps a fire glow from afar.
Only till this evening, that STOMP reported this sight from another resident - apparently, no SCDF report on fire was reported. So this light which came from the direction of Seletar Airport seemed to be from a far.....

Now: Found out that it was a normal flare at Pasir Gudang. Used as safety devices in refineries and petrochemical facilities : They safely burn excess hydrocarbon gases which cannot be recovered or recycled !
Reflections
Since this morning "Orange glow sunrise" spotted, I had been thinking about this light from heaven. Was recalling how Saul encountered this bright light that came upon him while he was hot and fired up in persecuting believers.
But just one encounter on the road to Damascus changed Saul to Paul - 180 degrees turn. Blinded and then later his visions were set on clarity by Ananias. Filled with the Holy Spirit. Baptised. A man changed from PERSECUTOR of faith to that of PREACHER of the Good News that Jesus is the Christ!
Like the burning bush that Moses encountered in the mountain - a bush in flames yet was not burned. That one encounter changed Moses from a DESERTER to that of a DELIVERER declaring the great I AM , the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who remembered His suffering children.
* When did you have that bright light encounter with YHWH?
* Is that light still burning in your soul? Or has it been smothered out?
Just heard this song "At the Cross" by Brooklyn Tabernacle choir. What awesome lyrics . Another reminder that at the cross, He died for our sins. He had to leave so that we will continue to have the Holy Spirit to guide us. All fired up for Him while on earth. Till we see Him again .
