Upheld In Morning’s Promise

Cleanness

Seeing the sunrays splayed all over the place in the early morning renews my soul. Yesterday’s problems have had time to incubate in my subconscious mind, maybe with a clarification, and the morning gives hope.

God is sending cleanness. A new start. No screwups yet.

I am so thankful. Life seems to be hitting all of us. Nearly everyone is dealing with “situations,” health, economic, and other. I’ve just had my fourth major appliance give up this year. The refrigerator this time. With all the other things going on, I felt a temper tantrum was perfectly appropriate. More money out NOW? When the economy is tanking? I’m pretty sure I am not the only one feeling the swirls of being overwhelmed.

But when I saw the light diffusing in the morning, it reminded me that God still cares.

Morning’s Promise

Soul, take a deep breath. Trust His goodness.

During the night, God watches over us. He never slumbers or sleeps. His watch care is constant and tender. Then His love for us is renewed every morning. He gives us a visual of that as dawn edges across our landscape.

Every day He pledges to us His presence throughout the day. He is at our right hand. No matter what, He is with us.

If we would look to Him, we would see His care even in our circumstances. He will be there.

“The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” (Psalm 121:5-8 NIV).
