A beautiful sunrise at the North Carolina Outer Banks offers new opportunities, new adventures, second chances, and the excitement for another day. Here it seems to hide behind a strand of sea oats
All of us at times allow “sea oats” to grow in our lives, blocking the opportunities that God provides to those who focus on him. Paul explains in Titus 3:3-4 (NIV) “At one time we were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us…”. We oftentimes get hung up in the weeds in our hectic lives and fail to slow down long enough to realize what God is indeed offering to those who put God first. There is a beautiful sunrise for those who step out of the weeds and look.
John assures us in 1 John 5:3-4 (NIV) “This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world…” Certainly John is not saying that our burdens are light, but that the Holy Spirit dwells in believers and gives them strength.
Put your trust in God; submit to Him in everything, remove the weeds. A beautiful new day awaits.
