Morning...Sunrise

Morning is a time that gives a fresh start.

It could be a patch of blue sky that gives hope for a sunny day. 

The clouds can be pink/blue in the early morning which is pleasing to the eye. 

The first rays of the sun through tree branches or the sunrise's first sight on the horizon stirs the soul and invigorates.

"But this I call to mind,

    and therefore I have hope:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

    his mercies never come to an end;

 they are new every morning;

    great is your faithfulness." (Lam 3:21-23 ESV)

One of my favorite promises of God is that He hears our prayers and that we can expectantly and eagerly look up in faith for the answer and provision  to our pleas.

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up." (Psalm 5:3 KJV)

I Will Look Up

Perfect Healer

All my life, all my cares on you

King of Kings

Mighty Savior

All my life, all my cares on you

One thing I AM THANKFUL for is that God wakens me each morning and as a loving Father gives me the desire to pursue Him in the reading of The Bible, and in reliance on the Holy Spirit gives me a word to sustain, and a listening ear to obey Jesus.

"The Lord God has given me

    the tongue of those who are taught,

that I may know how to sustain with a word

    him who is weary.

Morning by morning he awakens;

    he awakens my ear

    to hear as those who are taught." (Is 50:4 ESV)

So grateful to have another day!
