What makes a sunrise beautiful?

You’re on a deer stand, in a duck blind. Maybe you’re taking a long trip, leaving before daylight. I bet you’ve started your exercising or hiking well before dawn. No?, well maybe you’ve crawled out of bed searching for your favorite coffee mug. AND…….. Here comes the sun!

What makes the sunrise beautiful? We can see it! The colors, the various hues and blendings of these colors. The color red, now it’s pinkish, now it’s MAROON! (proud MS State Bulldog fan here) As the sun climbs over the horizon, light begins to shine on us and our surroundings.

Before sunrise, there is fear in what’s out there. Fear of the dark, fear of the unknown, even fear of what might be. An “official” sighting of Sasquatch was reported not 5 miles from where I’m sitting right now on my deer stand. I know, I know there’s no such thing as……….wait….what was that noise?

But as the sun rises to give us a new visit each morning, we begin to see the road better. Or maybe now we can see the deer. What was that noise? Armadillo. (Whew)

We can now see where to put our feet without tripping. Because of the light, we now lose those fears.

Luke 1:77-79New American Standard Bible (NASB)

With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,
⁷⁹To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.”

On this spiritual trip sometimes in darkness, we are afraid to move. But when the “Sunrise from on High” shines down for us, we now see where to go. We now see there were no “monsters” in the dark. We now see because of His light in our hearts. Thank you Lord………. was blind, but now I see.
