Sunrise





As I'm sitting here this morning at 6:37 am, just as the sun is peeking Over the hill and the trees, I'm contemplating Gods sovereignty. As im sitting here, listening to the birds cheerful chirps, I'm embracing my blessings. I always say I'm not a morning person, but I guess its just more I'm not a get up early just to rush and get on with my day kind of person. Because its not that I hate mornings, it's that I hate that a stressful day is about to begin. Because as I'm sitting here, watching the sun rise, I'm engulfed in its glory, and the glory of our God, as it shouts "He is powerful! He is mighty! He is just!" And as the world comes alive, as the trees gently rustle in the wind, and the birds flirt with everything around them, and whistle with joy, another day has begun. Another blessed day, a gift from the Lord. And now I'm seeing, I AM a morning person. This sunrise puts me at ease, these birds make me want to sing, this wind makes me want to dance, and although it's early, the world is even more beautiful. From this moment on, everything in nature will appear as more than just trees, and creatures, and grass, I will see it for he miracle and inspiring beauty that it is. Praise Jehovah!
