Sunday Psalm The Sun Comes Up
Sunday May 19, 2019
For some of us, coming into recovery has opened our eyes to the beauty of creation. In our former dysfunctional lifestyle, we lived in a darkness of soul where our mind was in bondage to the addiction that controlled us. The spectacular beauty of the sky never entered our thinking. Now we are coming into a new place and can begin to appreciate the beauty around us, and above us.
The heavens keep telling the wonders of God, and the skies declare what he has done. Each day informs the following day; each night announces to the next. They don’t speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice. Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world. In the heavens a tent is set up for the sun. It rises like a bridegroom and gets ready like a hero eager to run a race. It travels all the way across the sky. Nothing hides from its heat. (Psalm 19:1-6 CEV)
Nothing is said to it, but every day the sun faithfully comes up to announce a new day. The sun not only gives us light but also gives warmth. It enhances the beauty that is all around us.
Nothing is said to it, but every day the sun faithfully comes up to announce a new day. The sun not only gives us light but also gives warmth. It enhances the beauty that is all around us.
When we gave our will and life over to the care of God, light came into our darkness bringing with it the ability to notice simple beauty and enjoy what we see and hear each day. What a wonderful gift from God.
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease. (Genesis 8:22 NIV)
Our lives truly change when we can appreciate and give thanks for the endurance and beauty of God’s creation.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I praise You for Your awesome creation. You are a wise and wonderful God who loves and cares for all You have made, including me. Thank You that You truly are my glory and the lifter of my head. Amen
