"And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." Gen 1:5

I've heard it preached somewhere that God's design for our days didn't begin at 6am., but actually began in the darkness and became light. I've always wondered why that is. I grew up thinking that night/sleep came after a day's work ... not before. This night before day thing didn't seem to go along with my Southern raising. Is there more to the  meaning of night/day than just when the alarm clock goes off?

The past few days have presented considerable challenges & trials. It's been a very dark place. But looking at the sunrise, I am reminded that God turns night into day. The darkness I've been facing isn't the 'end', but only the beginning, (which soons becomes the past). There is still alot of day ahead of me ... a new page in the book, so to speak.  "...weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Psalm 30:5

As you face the trials today, remember that God's Word said ... "And it came to pass ...". The trials will pass and with God's strength & comfort, we will make it through and become better servants because if it.

May the Lord bless you as you travel & keep you in His loving arms.
