Morning Light

By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us.

— Luke 1:78 (RSV)

It is early morning and the entire day lies ahead of me. I don't know what this day will bring — it could be triumph or tragedy, mundaneness or marvels, birth or death, or...?

One thing is certain: Allowing time first thing for the Son to shine upon me will greater prepare me for what the day brings.

Prayer

Heavenly Sonshine, fill my soul today with Your glory divine.
