Sunrise

Psalm 143:8

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you

The drapes had been drawn, and the enormous window was facing directly east. Last week I had the opportunity to spend the night on the coast, and I woke up at the exact moment when the sun peeked out over the water. God knew He had to wake me up because it would take a miracle for me to naturally wake up that early!

Anyway, the burnt orange-colored sun peeked out over the water and it was as quiet as a whisper, but sudden and very striking. It was a moment in time that one should know that God is trying to say something. I knew that it was a special time just for me, and straight from heaven. This sunrise only lasted a few minutes. But somehow, I knew that God was touching me and speaking to me through this.

What was He saying?

I believe He was saying that “He knows me better than I know myself.” Why? Because He knew how much I would enjoy seeing that beautiful scene even though I didn’t plan to wake up and see it on my own.

I am certain that in the future He will remind me of this when I need to trust Him in some unique or difficult situation. It will be a time when I will need to hear Him say, “Don’t forget....I know you better than you know yourself.” And He will have me recall this beautiful sunrise that happened on the 6th of January.

It was a morning of calming assurance of His love for me and how special I am to Him. It was like He nudged me and quietly said….. “Wake up...I want you to see something with me!” Wow! God wanted to start the day with me! I can trust Him who loves me like that.

Guess what! You are special to God too! I believe that He knows you better than you know yourself! Ask God to show you in a very special way, perhaps a sunrise or a sunset, how much that you can trust Him with your life.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
