Heavenly Morning Glories

<p>The Bible states five special blessings for each morning. <br />God brings joy in the mornings (Psalm 30:5). <br />God loves anew every morning (Lamentations 3:2223). <br />God visits every morning (Job 7:18). <br />God enables us for service every morning (Isaiah 50:4). <br />God promises an eternal morning (Isaiah 21:12). <br />We call these blessings heavenly morning glories. <br />They are like the morning glory flowers (Ipomoea nil) whose heart-shaped leaves remind of Gods love whose trumpet-shaped flowers give muted sound of Christs return whose covering vines hint of the reach of Christs forgiving power and whose unraveling flowers promise newness and color to Gods creation. <br />The Heavenly Morning Glories are part of a treasury of unusual spiritual meditations some of which include the following: <br />The Banqueting House <br />The Unlived Life <br />Baca <br />Opportunistic Witnessing <br />The Full Quiver <br />Doubting Believers <br />The Language of Tears <br />I Love the Lord Because . . . <br />Euroclydon <br />These spiritually enriching meditations were born from thirty-five years of the authors pastoral ministry to several churches.</p>
