Jesus Is The True Morning

Before there was any night, God spoke morning into existence. And despite all the evils and darkness that have entered the world since, there is still something about the morning that brings fresh hope and joy to our hearts.

The dawn dispels darkness, renews our vigor, and serves as an ongoing testimony to the faithfulness of God:

“Every morning he shows forth his justice; each dawn he does not fail.”

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

Earthly dawns are often cold, cheerless and gloomy, but the true beauty of morning is found in Jesus. He is the bright and morning star, the light of the world, and the Dayspring from on high:

“Because of the tender mercy of our God, the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

Jesus is the true morning, and in His presence there is no darkness; when the last day finally dawns and the morning star rises in our hearts, night shall pass away forever.

Until then, let us remember that each and every morning is a foretaste of the eternal day that awaits us, as well as a summons from Him from whom all light is given:

“Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.”

“O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.”
