Morning Star

It’s harder to think when your head is horizontal. Many mornings I lie in bed and pray and look for inspiration. But before it comes the Lord usually seems to say, “Get up!”

Thank God for good and God given rest, but once the snoozin is done it’s time for the Son. The sunrise is unique and different everyday, it’s like what happens in your heart, when you rise and pray. If you don’t look for it then you won’t even see it. You may catch a glimmer here and there, but if you want to really breathe it in, you have to stop and look at it. Likewise the things in your life won’t start lookin up until you do. So get up, and look up, because peace and victory come from vertical vision. The light and life you get when you pray can take you through many gloomy a day. It may be dark and cloudy now, but can you remember a great sunrise or sunset? How does that make you feel? It’s an example of the effect of Divine inspiration upon your heart. If you take the time to take it in then you can take it with you wherever you go. Then whatever happens to happen, you don’t have to let it get you down because the revelation of the Greater One keeps you up!

So I challenge you tomorrow to rise and pray and purpose for once to take the time to see the Sunrise. It’s at 6:54AM here in Meeker, or you can check the sunrise charts online for your location. Then remember just as the Sun rises in majesty everyday, more faithful and greater is the Glory of the Son who has eternally risen, and shines in your heart when you pray.

Mal 4:2
2 But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
NKJV

2 But for you, sunrise! The sun of righteousness will dawn on those who honor my name, healing radiating from its wings. You will be bursting with energy, like colts frisky and frolicking.

Rom 5:5
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto u
KJV

Rom 5:5
5 Then, when that happens, we are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens and know that all is well, for we know how dearly God loves us, and we feel this warm love everywhere within us because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
TLB

2 Peter 1:16-20

16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
NKJV
