What if you woke up one day and the sun didn\u2019t rise?<\/strong><\/p>\nThink deeply about that question for a few moments.
What if one day, the sun just didn\u2019t rise.
What would you think?
How would you react?<\/p>\n
What if the day the sun didn\u2019t rise began an unending night? It wouldn\u2019t be long before a coldness would grip the earth.<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re honest, I think you and I would be deeply unsettled and struck with a fear we\u2019ve never experienced before. What about hope? Could there be any hope without a rising sun?<\/p>\n
God superintends with power over the sun. Each morning, He says, \u201cagain!\u201d and the sun rises again. The next day, He says, \u201cagain!\u201d So it is with God\u2019s providence. And so it is with man\u2019s ungratefulness. Man is but a mist. Our sojourn on this planet is but a hairsbreadth.<\/p>\n
Every day we take for granted the rising sun, our beating hearts, eyes that see, hands that hold and others to love. We arise under the providential rising sun and go about our days ignoring the gift-nature of God (even for those who don\u2019t believe in Him).<\/p>\n
Every day that the sun rises, the heavenly event speaks to our hearts and minds. We can gaze upon it and ignore it or we can gain wisdom. Either way we will give an account one day when we\u2019ve seen our last sunrise.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, set your alarm a little earlier<\/strong> and look toward the eastern horizon and ask yourself the question; \u201cWhat if the sun doesn\u2019t rise today?\u201d When it does rise, you will filled with joy and gratitude – and the fear of the Lord will set your heart right.<\/p>\n<\/strong><\/p>\nMeditate on the following passages:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cAnd God said, \u201cLet there be light,\u201d and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day\u2026\u201d – Genesis 1:3-5<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cFor his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.\u201d – Romans 1:20<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it\u2026\u201d – Isaiah 42:5<\/em><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_font_size=”19px”][\/et_pb_post_nav][et_pb_cta title=”Subscribe” button_url=”https:\/\/lancecashion.us4.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=10576a5bc09e977590b28c9e4&id=4ed350394a” button_text=”Click Here” _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”19px” background_color=”#c55f0d” custom_padding=”24px||32px|||” body_font_size_tablet=”” body_font_size_phone=”16px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n
