This morning when I woke up the first thing that popped into my mind as I saw the sun rising is how God in his wisdom created us to sleep with the setting of the sun and rise with the rising of the sun. I know this is a “duh” moment for many of you but I really thought it over and over as I layed there in my comfy bed and thought how great it is that each day is new. Everyday is symbolic of putting away or to “rest” the day’s events and then waking to a new one and starting over. That to me is a miracle and a blessing and it shows me a taste of God’s love for me.
The pursuit God has for your devotion is not a selfish desire, it is God’s way of extending his love and compassion to you to realize that you don’t have to do anything to make him love you, he just “loves”. You. In a world that is ever changing and seems very unpredictable and chaotic and unsure, we have the promises of God daily to lean on. I love how Lamentations 3:22-24 describes God’s love, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him alone”
