Sunrise

At each and every sunrise you will hear my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to you. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart. Psalm 5:3 TPT 

Chesterton wrote, "God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun."

As a lover of fresh starts and new beginnings, sunrise is my favorite time of day. A new day - who knows what adventures it may bring?

I feel the same way about the sunrise of a new year. Who knows what 2021 has in store?

I laugh to myself because already 1/12 of the year has come and gone; and yet the year feels new to me.

What are my hopes for 2021?

Just like the above verse, I want God to bring His fire upon my heart. Living in the hum-drum sameness of the world is not what I'm all about. I sense there is much more for me.

I'm wanting to see miracles and provision for all my friends and family this year. 

I want more brothers and sisters in Christ this year.

I want to encourage more, praise more, study more.

I want more of Him. What about you? What do you hope the next sunrise brings you.

“You will have what your faith expects!” Matthew 9:29b TPT

Welcome to Day 5 of the #Write28Days challenge. During the month of February, I'll be examining what my world looks like after 2020. I feel we are ever closer to the Lord's return. What would it look like if I lived everyday with that thought in mind?

This could be my last February 5th before He comes.

The truth is, it IS the last February 5th for some, because He comes back every day for somebody.

It could be me. It could be you. It could be every believer.

My prayer is to leave an impact. What about you?

So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you. 1 Peter 1:13 TPT

P.S.-I want to give credit for the Chesterton quote to Michele Morin. I first saw it on her blog, Living Our Days. I've been mulling over it ever since. Thanks, Michele, for a new reason to appreciate sunrise!
