THE DAWN OF THE DAY

 

August 23        THE DAWN OF THE DAY
             
1 Now the day is over,
night is drawing nigh;
shadows of the evening
steal across the sky.

This day will come to an end like every other day, as long as we are alive, our today lasts for only 24 hours and it becomes yesterday and then last year. The miracle of today is that the hours, the minutes and the seconds are the same daily all over the world. The dawn shows that the night times of our lives will not last forever and the morning brings new mercies, they are fresh and new every morning. The Creator of the universe, our Lord God Almighty in His wisdom divided the day into three different parts, morning, afternoon, evening and the nighttime. A time to work and a time to rest from our work. As we come to the evening time of our day do we reflect on what we have done with the hours that was given us, from dawn to dusk to do as we desire? As we come to the evening time of our lives are we satisfied with all that we accomplished in the dawn? Are we struggling with unfinished tasks? Are we joyful or stressed out because we did not achieve anything? What part of the day time did we ascribe to our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed our day and given us our daily bread? He has forgiven us our trespasses, Luke 11: 2-4. He has laid a table before us in the presence of our enemies- psalm 23:5.

The night is drawing near and the shadows of the evening is passing us by. As we lift our eyes up to observe the sunset we are amazed at the splendor of our Lord’s timing. He is telling us to wind up the day’s activities for the night is creeping in and the time of rest is coming upon us. He has measured out the food and the water we require for the day. Are our eyes open to see what He has prepared for us? What an awesome God who is nothing but love, He tells us that the time to rest from our daily toil has come. Our Father, our Creator has designed our bodies to succumb to the rest which our bodies need. 

Do we understand the timing of our God, He has worked out the timing of the day. Ecclesiastic 3:1 tells us that there is time for everything under the sun. 

There is a dawn for everything, a spiritual awakening to The light that our Lord Jesus is bringing to the world. There is a new hope and spiritual light chasing away the darkness as we arise in prayers and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. May we arise pure and refreshed and ready in the holy eyes of The Lord to serve Him. The dawn of the day is here, our wake up call is to commit all our plans to the Lord, acknowledging that our lives are in His hands.

Today remember that at the crack of dawn there is a new hope filled with The Lord’s presence. 

Let Us Pray: Our Lord and our Master, what a mighty God You are. All you created are living according to your plans,  for us to flourish in spirit and in truth and to live in harmony with You and with each other. May our dawn be filled with your joy, your peace, and be filled with your awesome presence. Thank You Lord for the light of our days. Amen

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
