They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And yet, I
can’t think of a single word that could possibly describe the emotion that
welled inside me when this sunrise was before me. Every word that came to mind
seemed…lacking.
You see, I’m a night owl; I rarely ever see the dawn. There are pros and cons to this, a pro (beyond
the obvious) being a greater appreciation for the sunrise.
On the rare occasion I wake early enough to see the start of
a new day, I can’t help but recite the song my mother sang to me every morning
growing up:
“This is the day; this is the day that The
Lord has made!
I will rejoice; I will rejoice and be glad
in it!”
Don’t you see?? It’s a new
day, a fresh start. No matter how yesterday or the past week or even the past
five years have treated you, today is
the day to start fresh, to get right with the Lord!
Paul writes in 2 Corinthians, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has
gone and the new has come!”
There is beauty in
the promise of a new day; beauty in
its greeting: beauty in the sunrise.
