Good Morning

Easy to create a title when my eyes are rested, soul anticipating a good day, which is unknown, but God is here, and God still remains when I am faithless. Nothing compares to starting a morning steeping my soul, mind, and spirit in the scripture of God. Nehemiah is fascinating in its powerful testimony of a people who are able to look back on the wonders of God, the flowing grace and forgiveness, the gloriousness of His name, and say "Blessed be your glorious name" (9:5). They are amazed at how God was truly there, providing in amazing ways from the choosing of Abram, the Red Sea parting, and the wandering in the wilderness. All things that at the time were unexplainable, but looking back they so clearly reflect God's sovereignty. All the while God remained faithful, even when they could not see it or actually complained about its apparent absence. "Help me in my unbelief" could have escaped their lips, in the midst of the reality beyond their circumstances, but instead they focus on their understanding and lose the grandeur of God's greater plan. There is a greater plan of redemption, culminating on the cross and His return to consummate all things as we now look to eternity. Let my hope rest in that culmination, in the Savior who is, who was, and who is to come.
