Spiritual Dawning
“The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.” (Isaiah 21:12)
Today’s Morsel: Every day of our lives, as born-again believers, there ought to be a spiritual dawning. We ought to begin each day afresh and anew. David stated, “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.” (Psalms 63:1-3) He cried, “My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.” (Psalms 57:7-11) Is your heart fixed. Is your mind stayed on Jesus. What’s your goal in the morning? Paul said that the thing which was written afore was written for our example. There must be a new dawning in your life daily. God is doing a new thing. Again, Paul said: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:9-10) You can’t sit still and not learn and gain understanding. God is moving. Jesus has already gone before us, and He is waiting for us to catch up. You’ve got to get up and seek Him with your whole heart. Mary Magdalen and the other women went to the tomb early to anoint the body of Jesus. But when they arrived, the stone was rolled away. And when they looked inside, they saw two angels, one at the head and one at the foot where Jesus had lain. And they said unto them, why are you seeking the living among the dead. He is not here. He has risen as He said. A new dawning. A spiritual awakening. When you seek Him early, there is going to be a new beginning in your life. As Isaiah said: “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” (Isaiah 55:1-3) God dropped manna early every morning, but the sabbath, for the children. Do you have any meat?
Sing: By and by when the morning comes, when all the saints of God are gathering home, we will tell the story how we overcome, and we will understand it better by and by.
Thought For Today: “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.” (Psalms 113:3)
