Early Morning Inspiration

This morning as I was walking to the office, I was overtaken by the beauty of the pre-dawn hours: the cool air, the bright stars above, the quietness of being awake while everyone else around is asleep. It was really an amazing experience. My heart was exploding with worship to the Father.

Now the challenge is to continue to have a heart of worship and gratitude throughout the day, to see the ways in which God is revealing himself to us in the ordinary. Every leaf connected to a tree through its branches is a wellspring of life. The rich sap from the tree flows through its veins, and the leaf gives life to all around by the oxygen it produces and the nutrients that abound in its very being.

So is the person who is connected to the Creator through the Messiah. He is a spring of life to all around him. People are attracted to the tree that sustains him because it is the fount from whence life proceeds. Apart from that sustaining flow, life quickly fades into death. May we remain connected to the Creator.
