I
arise early and seek the Lord. In the morning of my life, he
will greet me with the freshness of his love and its inspiration.
The relationship that he fostered has been returned to me. The
communion once held in high esteem has been revived in me. The
table of fresh bread is prepared for me today. Fresh water is
poured from on high, and light is shining in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake. I receive of God's goodness and rejoice
in the presence of redemption. The darkness of the latter times
is upon this world. Gross darkness has covered the entire earth.
There is only one place that the darkness is prohibited. I seek
that place, and I will find the peace granted by the Prince
of peace.
Light
has come to me, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon me.
Though darkness has covered the earth and gross darkness the
people, God has risen upon me. His glory shall be seen upon
me. From our nations, this light is shining, and many have come
to this glorious light. Kings have come to the brightness of
the Lord's rising. I lift up my eyes from the small things of
my own comprehension, and I behold the abundance of his glory.
Our entire nation walked in darkness, but now they have seen
the great light. Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of
death have the light shining upon them. The Lord came with the
government upon his shoulder. The increase of his government
and peace has no end. Upon the throne of David, he sat and established
a government with judgment and justice. He performed it with
his own zeal, not the zeal of man. The tabernacle of David has
been raised. God now has walls of Salvation and gates of Praise.
He is the everlasting light of this tabernacle. He is my glory
and my everlasting light. He has come to end my mourning. I
believe.



Hebrews
10:22 - 23
Let
us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies
washed with pure water. Let
us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised;)
Ephesians
2:8-9
For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
