Morning

From the book of Lamentations...


22 "Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

Every single morning we can trust in the Lord's compassion when feel none from the world. Every morning we are covered in grace to avoid the consuming world. Every morning we can proclaim that God is good, and Great is His faithfulness. Each morning we can declare that the Lord is our portion, and the things of earth can grow dimmer and dimmer until we no longer see them. Every morning we can wake up with a clean slate. Every morning we can trust in his mercies and His voice. Every morning we can stretch our bodies for the long day ahead, knowing He will provide. Every morning we can thank our God for our sleeping, and the clearing of our minds. Each morning we can remember that God chose to have the sun rise for His children. Every morning we can look forward to hearing the waking of His creation.

God never sleeps. God is continual love. God never ceases to pour His blessings upon us. I am beginning to fall in love with the morning; it is the origination of the day of proclaiming the Gospel. Let us fall in love with mornings- our God spends each moment as we sleep, pouring His grace upon us in preparation for our waking and doing. In fact, every second of the day he begins preparation for the following morning-when we make the decision to sacrifice our days to bring HIM glory and bring HIM praise.
