As morning breaks…

“As morning breaks I look to you, O God, to be my strength this day.”

I woke up very early this morning with this phrase (and song) on my heart. I don’t remember that I was dreaming, but I do have have a number of things on my mind. You know, those situations you just aren’t sure how to handle. Those things you don’t want to give the energy to. The things that can drain your joy. Yep, I have a few weighing me down.

I can’t believe how quickly I get stuck in my head about things and don’t turn them over to God and lean into His strength and glory. I know He is working things out. I need to trust in Him. And He will give me what I need for today.

And I can give thanks and praise to the God who knows and loves me.

I am sure God sent this as a little reminder to me that I only need Him to be my strength today.

This is from Psalm 63 and is just a delightful song by John Michael Talbot.
