Some Glad Morning

Good Morning.

Some Glad morning will be the very best morning. A morning that will never end.

Many times, my brain will hear a word or phrase and immediately in my brain a song will start playing. Often this will happen in the middle of my teaching and preaching. It happens almost everyday and I will begin to hum, sing songs I have not heard since childhood. Of course, I often only remember just a line or part of a line. I might just make up the rest of the words.

This happened this morning.

Every morning is gift God gives us. Scripture declares that His mercy is new everyday. In the perpetual rythmn of life, sunrise, sunset, light dawns, darkness grows, it is a mechanism of our reality trapped in time.

The way we judge time itself is found within the confines of this day and night experience.

However, scripture paints for us a picture when the day will dawn and night and it’s relationship will be severed. For some, there will be eternal day. For others, sadly, there will never be another day, but rather outer darkness with the abscence of all the grace found here on earth.

For the child of God, that light, that day, the illumination will not be from a combination of celestial bodies in the sky, but the illumination of that day will come from the creator and genesis of light.

On that resurrection morning when all the dead and christ shall rise,

“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”

When we close our eyes and we look through the lens of faith we see the bright light shine and know it’s just about home time, we can see the Father standing at the door.

Some of you will see what I just did.

So where do we end this missive on the blessing of the morning?

How about this,

Until that resurrection morning, let’s make the most of this day and the rest of our days in joyful preparation and evangelism to fill the fathers house.

In Him, By Him, Through Him,
