Psalm 108:1-6 AMPC
O God, my heart is fixed (steadfast, in the confidence of faith); I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory [all the faculties and powers of one created in Your image]! [2] Awake, harp and lyre; I myself will wake very early-I will waken the dawn! [3] I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto You among the nations. [4] For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great and high as the heavens! Your truth and faithfulness reach to the skies! [5] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth. [6] That Your beloved [followers] may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us! [or me]!
It's 4:30 in the morning - the crescent moon is waning and the dawn chorus is starting.
The first bubble bee is busy on the yellow buddhlea as the new day dawns.
The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.
It's the work of His hands.
I look to the skies, crisscrossed with vapour trails of planes bound for foreign lands.
They are high, far higher than I ...
But above the heavens God is supreme, serene in His majesty.
He is in control.
The world may be pregnant with many disasters, propagating fears, manipulating situations, attempting to dominate and control, but God has the ultimate say.
Be still and know - really understand and comprehend that I AM - YAHWEH - is God.
Jesus said "before Abraham was, I AM (YAHWEH).
Yes, Jesus set everything in motion at Creation, He still maintains it.
Yet the greatest miracle is the new creation He forms in each one who believes.
I am born anew like this new day - with fresh opportunities in Jesus.
He is always active and alert watching over His Word to perform it.
My role is to trust and follow with praise in my heart.
I waken the dawn with thank You Jesus - for opening the eyes of my heart to see You and fall in love with You more and more.
