Morning

MORNING

Yesterday a rain shower watered the earth,

early this morning you can see new birth

for pretty flowers and green grass appear

after yesterday's shower disappeared.

Yesterday's falling rain worked its magic.

Listen, there's water babbling in the creek.

This morning the bright warm rays of the sun

chased away the gloom from the wet rain.

Together they work in harmony

to grow pretty flowers and greenery.

If you take a deep breath,

you'll smell earthworms in the earth.

Ones spirits lift

as the fog lifts

for creation in all its glory

seems to be somewhat in a hurry

to get another day underway

as the darkness quickly slips away.

The sun removes the remaining shadows

as morning peeks over the willow.

Yesterday rain everything fed.

Today a cloudless sky overhead.

It's the dawning of a new day today

seen in the morning's waking sun rays.

Morning brings

many blessings.

Is that why birds sing

early in the morning?

Perhaps they don't want to forget a one

for their song is one of thankfulness all day long.

 

Do they have a lesson

to teach us humans?

To look for blessings

instead of stressing

over what we have no charge of

but to trust in the Lord above.

Whatever a given day may bring

God is there with you in everything.

You are not meant to carry your burden alone

for God will be there with you, by your side all along

to comfort, strengthen, guide

when you in Him abide.

My devotions this morning were from I Corinthians 13

where Paul talks about “faith to move mountains.”

That means believing faith to trust God to meet whatever our needs.

God is waiting to lift whatever burden when you in prayer plead.

If your mountain is physical, financial, or relational,

let God move your mountain for "with God all things are possible."

He is like the light of morning at sunrise

on a cloudless morning,

like the brightness after rain

that brings the grass from the earth.

II Samuel 23:4

So do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

...faith that can move mountains...

I Corinthians 13:2
