From Isaiah 58:2: “Yet day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, as if they were a nation that practiced righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of Me righteous judgments; they want God on their side.”
With every sunrise
Seeking to know God’s ways
Beholding His righteousness
Drawing closer to Him each day
Until setting sun
Tasting God’s living bread
Sharing His grace with others
Sewing faith’s fabric with each thread
Throughout each night
Knowing God always near
Mercy rises in darkness
Trusting as His love always steers
Early dawn wakens
Fulfilling God’s glory
Witnessing His blessed light
Writing faith’s renewing story
Sabbath brings delight
Reading God’s divine Word
Praising His Holy presence
Finding peace with everything heard
From Isaiah 58:9: “Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’“
