Majesty
Another day, another sunrise, reminding
us of God’s beauty, unbounded
and untamed,
for who can really capture the colors
of the sky, the subtle spectrum
as dark
gives way to light and the mere suggestion
of another day becomes reality.
Morning Mercies
(ASV) Psalm 113:1 Praise ye Jehovah.
Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,
Praise the name of Jehovah.
2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah
From this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same
Jehovah’s name is to be praised.
(ASV) Lamentations 3:22 It is of Jehovah’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
24 Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
We resume today our theme of continual praise. There is much unrest in the world, deep division caused by political ideologies. Extreme weather has left parts of our country unrecognizable, and hope seems to be fading that these united states will ever be united again.
Yet, with the dawn of each new day comes the promise that God has not given up on us yet. As Christ followers we have the unique opportunity to infuse our day with faith, because we know, believe and understand that God is our present help in times of need.
May we take advantage of each new day, choosing hope over despair and gratitude over grumbling.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
