Rise and Shine!

As I was driving into work this morning, listening to WAFJ 88.3, I heard the song “Rise & Shine”. It reminded me of days past when I would roust my daughters out of bed each morning for school with the same phrase. They didn’t like it much!

This morning, before daylight, I heard those same words spoken from the Lord. He told me to Rise & Shine. He invited me for a predawn walk outside. I was tempted to roll over and go back to sleep, but I quickly got up, got dressed in walking clothes, and headed out for a walk with God. We walked, and talked, and sang. (Poor neighbors!!) I rejoiced in His presence, and thanked Him for coming to me in the “cool of the day” and taking a walk with me.

He reminded me of several places in the Bible where He invited others to Rise & Shine. Adam & Eve in the Garden; Moses on the mountain; Lazarus in the tomb; Jesus on the Third Day!!

Nothing has changed! He is still calling out to His children, RISE & SHINE! Have you spent any time with God today? He is an early riser, and is looking for people who will take a walk with Him! What a refreshing way to begin the day! I love you!
