Dear God,

This morning as I sat in my chair meditating on the devotional writers' words of faith, truth and challenge, I couldn't help but realize the holy work before me.  The quiet was simply the sound of your whisper.  I really wanted to sing, "Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!  Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee."  Although all I could see out my windows was darkness, I knew within a couple of hours, the light would come bringing first the outline of the landscape and then the full view.  Why would I not want to praise and give thanks?

Early morning is by far my favorite part of the day.  I love to wake up to darkness, turn on the light and sit in my chair where my devotional books await me.  There I listen and hear your voice.  I swell with joy because I know your holy presence right where I sit.  I drink in your word and breathe in your spirit.  Why would I not know your joy first thing in the morning!

Holy and loving

are you,

Merciful God.

Thank you

for early

morning revelation!

Thank you

for the

wondrous gift

of your

living presence.

I love you.

Yours, Andrea
