Along With All Creation

At the break of dawn, to the setting of the sun,

And even all through the night of doubt and sorrow.
Psalm 74:21 (see also Psalm 67)
Do not let the downtrodden be put to shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy. (Ps. 67:4)
.
Matthew 15:25-28
But the Canaanite woman came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” He answered, “It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed instantly.

Words of Grace for Today –
…
The challenges – all those under a deadline – and all besides the immediate ones to be dealt with – the challenges keep me awake, wondering how to improve the poor results methods I’ve used when I have barely anymore resources or smarts on how to meet the challenges.
And then the morning fire started,
I stood, peering, turning, overwhelmed by the music, wondering …
the geese squawked in a line, not a ‘V’ high overhead, passing in and out of the clouds covering the whole sky, calming the light …
cattle mooed insistently off down and beyond the shores adding a cacophony to the
song birds chirping, singing, swaying the air …
as loons called disturbed by something or was it just they were waking to a new day?
Wondering what great praise the music brings to the Creator, Saviour, Sustainer, 3 in 1.
The light, calm, grey, settled over the fog covered green, green grass in the lower north meadow
giving the orchestra an album cover …
before I decided the fire was probably well started, the ash door could be closed, and I could go in and take the morning medication and crawl back into bed, an opposite standing encore, laying down and letting the music of praise go on and on
and
on.
Healing the music brings, flowing freely, gently over all that is, was, and will be.
So it’s a reset to stand and wonder how
God brings all that music together as the dawn breaks
at 4:40 am.
…
And how is your morning, your day, and your night going?
