Every morning it happens. Here in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the first fingers of sunlight inch across the prairie and turn on the footlights to light up the day. The sun’s rays beam from the east illuminating snow-capped Pikes Peak, revealing (most days) a clear blue sky, and always...a new beginning.
The recurrent sunrise reminds us of God’s faithfulness. Day after day, season after season He is with you. He goes before you. He loves you. More than you know. He takes care of your every need. Maybe not in your way or in your timing, but faithful He is. And always will be. “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God;
he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.” (Deuteronomy 7:9, emphasis added).
