Morning Come

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!

Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. Luke 1:78 KJV

All That He Has in Store!

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!

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!

Shelter From the Storm

Whether by day while working away
With the heat of the sun overhead
Or the pit of despair
In the darkness and gloom
With lightening crashing down everywhere

Still He's holding my hand
As God walks by my side
And Jesus fills me with His peace

He's our shelter in storms
By His grace and His power
And our refuge in darkness and night
He's a friend who stays true
As He leads us all through
To His Heaven and a placed filled with light




I loved the peace of this violin rendition of In Christ Alone by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty. For those unfamiliar with the lyrics here is the first verse.

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here, in the love of Christ, I stand
