Lamentation 3:22-23 NKJV
What a joy it must have been for the first man and woman to awake. In the morning just after their creation!
Before them lay a beautiful garden without turmoil, an orderly enviroment without so much as a weed or thorn.
Most wonderful of all, they freely walked and talked with the Lord in the cool of the day. Wouldn't you love to experience that glorious state of being for one morning! Eleanor Farjeon must have felt the same elation when she penned the words to her now internationally famous hymn:
Morning has broken like the first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the Morning!
Praise for them, springing fresh from the word!
Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dew-fall on the first grass.
Praise for tge sweetness of the wet garden,
Spring in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's recreation of the new day!"'
While we may not awaken to a perfect, pristine world in our natural bodies, we can awaken to a "brand-new day" in our minds and hearts. We can walk and talk with the Lord all day long. Each day the Lord presents to His beloved children wondrous possibility to explore with Him.
Let us always remember that He is the Creator and our loving Father. No matter what state we find ourselve in, He can create something new in us, for us, and through us. What cause for praise! His next act of creation is waiting to unfold as we yield our life to Him this morning and throughout our day!
