The skies are declaring the mighty wonders of God.
Right now through the morning of June 12, the strawberry moon, will light up the heavenly skies with its pinkish red color. According to Portland, Oregon, outlet KGW8, this full moon is spectacular for a few reasons including that it is set to be the lowest full moon in close to two decades, and will not reappear until 2043.

Because of the location of this moon, it will appear uniquely large, which is known as “moon illusion.”
While the strawberry moon captivates observers with its vibrant beauty and rare appearance, there is a deeper spiritual reality that many overlook. Tragically, for some, this awe-inspiring celestial event could become a gateway into illusion—both literally and spiritually.
What is known as the “moon illusion” parallels a growing deception in our culture: instead of drawing people toward the Creator, many are drawn into practices like zodiac readings, astrology and New Age spirituality which worship creation instead of God as the One who made it all. The wonder of the heavens becomes misdirected worship, leading people away from the truth.
The Bible tells us in Genesis 1:14 that God created the lights in the sky “for signs and for seasons.” These heavenly displays were never meant to lead us into star charts or self-guided spiritualism, but rather to point us to the One who made the stars. As Psalm 19:1 declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” The purpose of celestial signs is not to enchant but to awaken—to stir the human heart toward repentance, reverence, and recognition of the Most High.

The strawberry moon is not a cosmic coincidence or mystical force; it is a divine canvas painted to turn our eyes upward, to remind us that the same God who hung the moon also holds our future.
