The ground is moist with the fresh wash of rain yesterday delivered. It’s a new morning this morning, and I sense that God waits. He waits to see how we will spend this 24 hours. He has positioned the sun. He has cleansed the earth. And all is prepared for us to wake. We need only wake; wake to his presence, wake to righteousness, wake to his judgment and his salvation, wake to his unfailing love. We need only wake to him to know the fullness of this day.

Yesterday’s sin can be dealt with today. Yesterdays hurt can be comforted. Like the wash of rain, his well spring can bring cleansing and renewal. We need only wake…..to him.

“Father, turn our hearts and our eyes to you today. Show us your glory. Wash us with your righteousness. Have mercy on us Lord and allow the blood of your son to cleanse us once again as you have ordained. Lord, protect us from the evil one and deliver us from the evil of our own selfish desires. For you alone are God, and you are our Lord. Make us new.”
