Morning Dawns

Just before dawn this morning I heard a familiar springtime sound. There were many birds chirping and singing in the forest as they woke up, calling to the dawn. There are many patterns in life, and this is one of them. Even the birds know that after the night comes the dawn. Scriptures speak about how being fixed upon God we experience this same thing.

Psalms 57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

Psalms 143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

There are many records of believers, and even Jesus, rising early in the morning to pray and seek God. I think God built this into us as a part of creation. We long for the light, the day, and we will seek that when we are seeking God.

Even the birds know that after the night comes the dawn.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High, the Creator of all things. You bring us to the light, to the dawn after the morning. Please forgive us those areas that are still darkened within us. Deliver us into the light in every part of our being. Please send today You healing and abundant provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
