Another Great Sunrise Coming: The Light of the World

Not that long ago, I woke up to this . . .Another great sunrise that took my breath away.

How much the Father loves us!

Reflecting on St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in Ireland, one of the founders of the Institute for Creation Research, the late Dr. Henry M. Morris once said, “God has graciously clothed the lands of all His creation (not just Ireland) with beautiful, eye-soothing, green grass and trees. Think how eye-jarring it would be if all the world were clothed in purple or orange!”(Henry M. Morriss, PH.D quote, March 17, 2005)¹ 

How much God desires to have communion with each one of us.

Will we answer that call?

There’s another great sunrise coming: The Light of the World – Jesus!

The following verse in the meme below comes from the Book of Zephaniah and was specifically directed to Israel.  At the time of this writing, Israel was under the rule of King Josiah in the 7th century B.C. 

The prophet Zephaniah minced no words – both warning the people of God’s judgment on the wicked and, at the same time, encouraging the righteous that God will bless them for their faithfulness.

The prophet’s words of assurance serves as a timeless reminder of the loving and righteous character of our omnipresent God.

The Lord our God is with His people, no matter where we are right now (and at this very moment) in this great big world of ours.

Another Great Sunrise Coming: The Wonder All Around Us

Bestselling Christian author, Susie Larson, published a post recently that I wanted to share.

I love her perspective here . . .

Yes, every good gift indeed comes from above, from the heart of a Father who loves us. We overlook so much of the immeasurable kindness of our Father. Every good and beautiful thing comes from His hand. Our lives would be so much richer if we slowed down long enough to notice the wonder all around us. – Author Susie Larson.²

Let’s slow down, dear child of God.

There is another great sunrise coming, as promised in the last chapter of the Old Testament. “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings” (Malachi 4:2). He who is Himself “the light of the world” (John 8:12) will someday even replace the sun in the new Jerusalem. There will never be another sunrise after that, for “there shall be no night there . . . neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light” (Revelation 22:5). – Henry M. Morriss, PH.D, christian apologist.³
