Fire in the Sky!

When I was a child, and I happened to be up early enough to see the sunrise I rarely recall the colors of the sunrise being very colorful.  As I recall, most of the time the colors were beautiful but pale, soft and muted.  I well remember the saying "Red in the morning sailor take warning.  Red at night sailor's delight."  A bright red sunrise foretold of bad weather in the near future.

 

However, a side effect of the pollution is vivid colors in the sunrise.  They frequently rival sunset colors.


Sunset:


This makes me think. Just like the first time Christ came, He was a baby, soft, tender and gentle. When He returns it will be very different. Read Revelation 14 for an account of the second coming of Christ. There is nothing soft or cute about it.  Red in the morning...

October Sunrise:


Is this change a sign of things to come? I can't honestly say. But I know it serves as a reminder to me that I need to be prepared "for the day is nigh."

Out My Window - A Beautiful Sunrise

 

I love sunrise. It always reminds me that God is in control and not me. That I can put my trust in Him because he will always be there. I don't need to help Him, he is doing fine on his own. There is nothing I can do to earn his Grace, Mercy and Love any more than I can change anything about the sunrise.

This picture isn't the best quality. It was taken with my BlackBerry and the quality reflects that. But it doesn't take away the fact that it is still a glorious sunrise and God is on His throne.

Please take a moment to pray for our new President, our nation and our world today and every day.

Morning Has Broken

I saw this beautiful sunrise this morning and it reminded me of my relationship with Christ. He is always there, always available. But if I let clouds come between us, I can't see him as clearly. He doesn't move, it is always me that allows "stuff" to come between us.

LORD, I pray that I will clear away the clouds and focus on you. To clearly see you and your plan for my life.
