Monday... Just longing for the Sun to come up. I never have been a sentrie at night and had a longing for the Sun to come up so you can go home and go to bed. I mean, you are out there walking around and you really can't see anything and you are doing everything you can to stay awake. I can see that could be rough. I can see how your longing would help you handle the darkness. Well the writer of Psalm 130 says in verses 5 & 6 (NLT), "I am counting on the Lord, yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn." You're out there walking, waiting for the Sun to come up. Now you have put your hope in the fact that when the dawn comes something new will happen. For one you can see. You're counting on it. And for another, you can go home and relax and go to bed. "I am counting on the Lord, yes I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word." ...
A positive reflection for a new day...
