I’m an early riser. As the days get shorter that means that I’m making coffee in the dark. Which is not a problem, as I enjoy the quiet before the rush of the day. Plus, I see the sun emerge on the horizon and I’m reminded of this promise:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

First light points to the unending love of the Lord, his boundless compassion and unparalleled fidelity. God is great, and every sunrise reminds me of that reality.

Lamentations 3:22-23
