Swatches of charcoal spread across the light gray sky. Black trees and lake completed the dismal picture. Lack of sleep, busyness, and stress put me in the mood of the scene before me.
Behind a tree, a wisp of pink glowed. Within seconds, each gray cloud blushed a brilliant coral. With the contrast in colors, dreariness left, and the sky lightened. Shades of pink highlighted each unique shape and pattern across the entire sky.
With emerging light, the lake awakened. Trees turned from shadowy blobs into detailed specimens. Surrounding the water, feathered musicians celebrated the artistic display. Brilliant colors turned into pastels.
The brief performance reminded me of the importance of spending time with God each day. While immersed in the gorgeous sunrise, I released anxiety, worry, and control. Allowing Him to take control, freed me to listen and obey. When life becomes hectic, time with God soothes, settles, and stabilizes.
The sun orchestrated the inspiring changes in the sky. The Son does the same for his children.
And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. Colossians 1:10-12 (NIV)
Heavenly Father, take me from anxiety and worry to peace with you. Lead me on the path you have selected for me. Amen
