Mornings are so inspiring: no matter what yesterday held, no matter what today holds, right now, in the beauty of this time, everything is new. There are some really awesome symbolisms that I could go on and on about...but, alas, I've spent so much time enjoying this time that I am now running low on time.
I just want to leave by sharing part of the conversation I had with God this morning and a few verses He gave me.
I pray you all have a wonderful day with Him!
Father, good morning!
I praise You for grace. Thank You for the Grace that makes us miserable until we are where we need to be: totally transfixed on You. I praise You for the mercy and grace You have shown me!...by saving my soul from my deserved slavery, and giving me the insatiable longing to stay close to You. It is all from You, Father. As [one of my favorite] songs says:
"I cannot boast in anything;
No gifts, no power, no wisdom.
But I will boast in Jesus Christ-
His death and resurrection!"
Even in this I fail so often...but Father, every time I do, please give me the Grace to be miserable.
I love you Father. Thank You for this beautiful morning!
From Psalm 66
8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9 Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to be moved.
10 For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
11 You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12 You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
(.......)
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19 But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!

Just beautiful. Remember, before the Fall from Grace, Adam and God often walked together in the cool of the day...!!! Thank you for sharing. Can't wait for our devotion time!
