NEW DAY BEGINS

 

Early morning ritual

Quiet time I treasure

As my day begins

Hint of dawn’s arrival

Eerie blue haze disrupts the darkness

Fresh cup of coffee

Steaming

Rich

Invigorating

Slowly revives my sleepy mind

Complete stillness

Precious solitude

I gather momentum

For approaching challenges

Daily visit with Oswald Chambers

Godly man of divine wisdom

His penetrating words

Guidance

Resounding holy lesson

Always right on time

Stiffened sore muscles

Remind me of previous works exertion

Melting down the drain

Of a piping hot shower

Sounds of skeletal atrophy

Creaking snaps

Within my necks foundation

Echo through my skull

Human weakness

Physical dysfunction

Dues

From the hard driving years

Wrong paths

Glaring poor choices

Youthful defiance

Forced me to explore

In the silence of this magic moment

I feel Him

Powerfully

Encompassing

Reassuring

His patient arms hold me close

Inspirational nourishment

Feeds my hungry soul

My focus on His plan

Thrilled to carry out my Saviors wishes

Hope transcends my mortal disadvantages

I dedicate my all

To my redeemer Jesus Christ

 18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation

A very spiritual and inspiring piece. I love the adjectives and your obvious adherence to the Lord. Haven't read scripture in a long time, this was a pleasure to read.
