THE MORNING SUN

THE MORNING SUN

A favorite worship chorus with lyrics that always stir my spirit:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning, new every morning,
Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord,
Great is Thy faithfulness.

This song conveys the hopeful message that every dawn brings on new possibilities (and absolute certainty) that the Creator manifests mercy, grace and generosity toward us in wonderfully unexpected ways.

Jeremiah originated the message and meaning of this worship chorus: “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Solomon confirmed it with these words: “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” (Proverbs 4:18)

I affirm it with a simple declaration of faith: No matter what today brings, Jehovah-Shammah IS THERE. The manifestation of His presence and power is just as sure at the appearance of the morning sun.  Indeed, JESUS CHRIST is the DAYSTAR, the morning sun. (II Peter 1:19) We will trust confidently in His providence.

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
