Though every morning there is a morning sky, there is a morning sky that speaks more intimately to my soul.
It is the sky that is free of clouds, with the horizon splashed with oranges, corals, even pinks.
It is the sky that calls ones eyes to it, to watch and await the rising of the sun.
It is the sight of the sun rising that causes a smile of satisfaction, of further anticipation of the day.
Though the sky does not always provide such a morning sky, the potential beauty and, in turn, anticipation, can be ours everyday.
As our eyes and minds awaken each morning (even if that morning begins in what might seem the dark of night) we are given the opportunity to start fresh, to do things in new ways, to speak new words.
Lamentations 3:22-24 speaks to this daily refresh opportunity:
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.””
God gives us new mercies each day. We awaken each day with forgiveness and compassion offered anew to us … we do not have to live in the storms, the mistakes, the sins of yesterday.
We can start each day saying, from our souls, “the Lord is my portion, therefore I will hope in him.”
