I love sunrise pictures. What a great wake up! Out of the darkness, the sun appears on the horizon as a reminder that "it ain't over yet". There is a new day and God is at work.
I was praying about missions at our church at the time and realized that as we look out from the beaches of our church we are looking at the mission field God has called us to work in. Our own beach is a great mission field. I will be working in it this afternoon as I place one of our members in a strategic ministry that will impact many lives in our area.
Each day when the sun rises it is a reminder that God is not finished with His work of redemption on planet Earth. Everyday the opportunity to reach the world rises with the sun. This image appeared in my mind as I looked at Clay's sunrise pictures. Each sunrise does not just mark the beginning of another day but it marks the beginning of a day that the Lord has made. It marks an opportunity to change the world.
As we look off the beach, we see the world at our doorstep and every time the sun rises over the horizon it reminds us that God loves the world and is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24
