Sunrise

I got up early one morning to watch the sunrise. It was super early so I went online to check the time the sun rises here in Lusaka. Having plenty of time, I sat and started my devotions. As I was reading and watching, I saw a pink speck of light! I got excited and got my pillow and blanket and went outside on the veranda. The sky got brighter and brighter but there was still no sun.  A few minutes went by and it was evident that morning had come and the sun was not there.  It was a cloudy morning so I figured the sun came up behind the clouds. As you can see this is my first attempt and being from a city I obviously have no idea how this works. So, I thought, "oh well, better luck next time."

I put my head down and resumed my Bible reading.  After finishing my daily selection, I raise my head up and behold, the sun!  It was JUST beginning to come up.  But how does this work, wasn't it already light outside?  Then, God spoke to me...

Lately, I have been wanting more of Him, to see Him more evident and clearly in my life.  I've been looking and although I see evidence that He is there (the bright morning sky) I still don't see Him or so I think.   He said that He is so big, so powerful, so bright, darkness is no where near Him when He appears.  His light shines so bright that even though He may seem a ways off, you can see evidence He is already there.  There is plenty of evidence that shows He has already come.  The Bible promises He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Although I didn't have a watch on to see the time was still early and sunrise was still some minutes away, the light that was there was evidence the sun was coming up.  Sometimes all we have to do to truly see Him, is get our faces into His Book.  We have to want Him, to seek Him.  The Bible says that we will find Him when we have searched for Him with our whole heart. The light is evidence the sun is coming.
