The Promise of Dawn
Read 2 Samuel 23
2 Sam 23:3-4 The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: 'When one rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God, 4 he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning,
DO YOU LOVE the dawn? I do. An early dawn is one of my favorite aspects of summer. When the dawn comes, the day begins, and I can work in the cool light of early day. The promise of a new day is before me.
God compares himself to the light of a new day. He wants you to know that when you trust him, his light breaks into your life to promise you a great future with him.
His light will shine on you. You become a light for others. People see you, and God becomes plain to them. People listen to you, and they hear God’s compassion, love and truth. You light up where you walk and talk because God has “dawned” on you.
The dawn brings promise of a new day. God has dawned on you. Go shine on someone who is still in the dark.
Pause and Consider: the dawn and its promise.
