The Faithful Sunrise

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."—Lamentations 3:22-23
(Easter sunrise at Greeley Farm, Wilton, New Hampshire)

Not every sunrise is sunny.
Like this morning in New England.
But it is always there.
And on this day of the greatest sunrise of them all,
Let it be a reminder that no matter what did or didn’t happen yesterday,
That was then, and this is glorious, hopeful now.
For all of even the weakest faith, His promise
Through every storm, every foggy path, is the same:
That just as He came into the world with the promise of good news of great joy to all
He has conquered sin and the grave and
He is risen, just as He said.
And He has also fulfilled every promise, just as He said,
Even this one:
"And so He is able, now and always, to save those who come to God through Him, because He lives forever to plead with God for them.”—Hebrews 7:25
He’s always got our back.
We just need to take a step and come.
And no matter the weather
To remember the faithful sunrise,
And remember the faithful Son-rise.
And let praise arise:
GOD is able…God IS able…God is ABLE.

“I am not what I want to be but thanks be to God that I want to be better than I am; and I am sure that ‘He which hath begun a good work in [me] will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.’ Here I stand. I can do nothing else, so help me God.”—A.W. Tozer
