Sunrise

I awoke this morning before the sun and spent the first moments of my day with my God outside on the back porch as He beckoned the bright star to bring forth His glory. Silent... watching the earth reveal each piece of His glory as the sun struggled to shine amongst the cloud cover. Even when the imminent storm seemed to block out all rays of light, the light was still there. His light is still there because He promises, "As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night." (Genesis 8:22) ... "The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning." (Lamentations 3:22-23) ... "For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning." (Psalm 30:5)
