A Morning Song

There is something beautiful in this dark hour. A deep penetrating quiet that floods my soul. It washes over me with such ferocity I can't help but soak it in. As others sleep, I sit.

Waiting.

Listening.

You're my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your
Word to renew me.
Psalm 119:114
The Message

Sometimes I hear with great clarity.

Other times, the clamor within makes the listening difficult.

Today is a little of both. Often the case when the day ahead promises a fullness of time and responsibility. Yet, here in this dark we meet.

Your Presence and my soul unite. The muse of my heart awakens to the joy found in this morning. This marrying of The Holy and the hungry gives rise to praise.

A fitting start to the day.

  4. That scripture verse just spoke to my heart Denise. It gave me chills when I read it. It just may be my new memory verse. Simple but oh so powerful.

    Thanks for sharing from you heart.

    Love that, Denise. I'm hungry for some Holy tonight. I'm also exhausted and feeling the pressure of my "now."

    Looking for peace tonight...
