lifted and carried

 ♪And He will raise you up On Eagles’ Wings

Bear you on the breath of dawn

Make you to shine like the sun

And hold you in the palm of His hand♪

Thank You Father,

More music. Still not sure why this song. Again.

(5:58 a.m.)

Repeatedly I say, “Thank You Father.” Mm. Yes. Thanks Dad!

A brief walk outside while tea steeped. Pondering the phrase “bear you on the breath of dawn.” I may have even thought the word was breadth. As in wideness. Or vastness.

Thank You for wonders far beyond my understanding. So many avenues to explore. Yet worshiping, adoring, glorifying and enjoying You remain paramount.

(6:29 a.m.)

Still sitting. Mulling over all the blessings You provide us.

New beginnings. Every single day. Your “mercies begin afresh each morning” (Lamentations 3:23). Thank You Father.

Thank You for the hope that ‘the arrival of dawn represents. The end of darkness. And the beginning of a new day. Filled with possibilities.’ Let me just think about that for awhile.

(7:05 a.m.)

The idea of being lifted and carried on eagles’ wings (Exodus 19:4) comforts and delights me. Father, I am asking (Matthew 7:7a) You to do exactly that for me. Lift me far above this current wave of clutter and disarray I have going on here. Do all You must in bringing order to my thoughts and surroundings.

And here I get to turn to Isaiah 57:14-19. God Forgives the Repentant. Followed by a STEP 7 devotional, Clearing the Mess.

Blessed God how I ask (Matthew 7:7a) You to come into this mess of my own creation and lead me out. I look to You for the strength and courage of clearing the way through the clutter.

I love, need, trust and want You as absolute Lord of my life. Do all You must dear God. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
