Daily Devotion: Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Heb. 10:23

 

 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:  25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

 

In the Stillness of Dawn

The sky outside my window bleeds from charcoal grey to a canvas of fiery orange, a symphony of color announcing the arrival of a new day. The world sleeps, shrouded in the quiet hush of pre-dawn, a sacred space between night and awakening. In this space, I find myself drawn inwards, the rhythm of my breath the only melody in the air.

Like the gentle light creeping over the horizon, a sense of hope stirs within me. The darkness of yesterday, with its worries and uncertainties, seems to fade in the soft glow of possibility. This new day, untouched and untainted, stretches before me like a blank page, an invitation to write my own story.

But perhaps within the stillness, fear whispers too. What challenges will this day hold? What burdens will I bear? The path ahead may be unclear, but in the quiet of dawn, I find my anchor. It rests in the simple truth that I am not alone.

A familiar whisper brushes against my soul, the promise etched in ancient words: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)

In the stillness of dawn, I surrender my anxieties to the embrace of that promise. I breathe in the strength of His presence, letting it fill the empty spaces within. And as the first rays of sunlight dance across the landscape, I rise, renewed and ready to face the day.

Remember, dear friend, the dawn carries a message for you too. In the quiet moments before the world awakens, take heart. Find your center, your anchor, your unfailing Source of strength. Let the light of hope wash over you, and step into the unknown with courage and grace. For in the stillness of dawn, you are not alone. You are loved, you are supported, and you are empowered to write your own beautiful story, one day at a time.

May your day be filled with blessings, and may the light of dawn guide your every step.

 A crown of gold on granite's brow,
The sleeping giant wakes just now.
From twilight's cloak, a sliver gleams,
A molten tear the darkness streams.

It crawls and climbs, a fiery tongue,
Lapping shadows, shadows flung.
The world ignites, a vibrant bloom,
In coral hues, dispelling gloom.

Each rock and crag, a jewel ablaze,
Diamonds scattered in a daze.
The valleys sigh, their slumber chased,
As silver mist their forms embrace.

And in the air, a rising song,
The skylark's hymn, vibrant and strong.
A symphony of light and sound,
Where hope and beauty can be found.

So raise your eyes, and drink it in,
This promise whispered on the wind.
A new day dawns, a chance to climb,
And reach for peaks in your own time.

For in the light, all things are new,
With skies aflame and dreams come true.
Let hope take flight, a soaring dove,
And paint your world with sunrise love.
