When will morning come?
With the sun
With the cars
In the rush
Or riding on the bus?
And does it rise
In the skies
Unending work
On the farms
Filling up the barns?
Or could it shine
At a time
In the dark
Filled with cares
With a prayer?
Or with a light
In the night
Mary's child
God's own Son
His morning come!
Morning Come

Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. Luke 1:78 KJV
Lord you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them. Psalm 10:17
Here in the United States our national motto is “In God We Trust” and it is interesting that it appears, not on our flag, nor directly in our constitution but on our money. But it was not at the height of our prosperity that we adopted this phrase, but during the dark days of the Civil War. Despite the ultimate victory of the Northern States, the reality was that both sides suffered devastation, death and tragedy on a scale never seen before or since in our history. When our hopes were at their lowest it was introduced on the 2 cent piece in 1864. Maybe that is instructive for our day of social upheaval, violence and division. We must remember that our trust in God is not a bold boast but a cry to Him for help. Today’s verse reminds us that hope is not in victory or success, but in the promise that God will hear our cry. He is our hope this morning and forever. So what is your disappointment? What is your despair? Where are you feeling the weakest? Remember that He has promised to hear, to come and to comfort. If we put our trust in God, we are saying not that things are great but that whatever comes we will fully and only belong to Him!
An eye that sees
An ear that hears
Are gifts from the Lord
His light will shine
His voice will speak
Each day within His Word
Don't hurry then
When morning breaks
To rush out of your door
If we can wait
Jesus will show
All that He has in store!
All That He Has in Store by Peter Caligiuri copyright 2021 all rights reserved
As we were reminiscing with friends the other day we tried explaining about the Sunday Comics to their grandson. His eyes opened wide as he puzzled over the idea of reading rather than watching cartoons. We began to each list our personal favorites and mine was Blondie. As I thought back, instantly it came to my mind the picture of Dagwood hurrying out the door, coffee cup in hand and knocking over the mailman on his way to work. We all laugh because in Dagwood’s rush we see ourselves breathlessly trying to keep up with life’s demands. But in today’s verse we find that in hurrying to put into practice our plans we miss the plans that God has in store each day. But if we would linger with that cup of coffee and give our first moments to God’s word He has promised eyes to see the pathway He had chosen for us and ears to hear Him cheer us on the way!
