Stretch Your Curtains

One of my domestic responsibilities is to open up the house each morning. I’m undeniably an early riser, so taking care of such a thing seems natural. Admittedly, I get an energy bump when I lift the shades and or spread the curtains to reveal a bright sunny day. On those special days I want to expose as much beauty as possible, so I work at making sure we get as much exposure as is available.

In Isaiah 54:2 we read about the fulfillment of God’s promise, that Israel’s descendants would occupy other nations; and they would inherit the earth.

What a blessing it is to wake up to a beautiful day and to know that its creator was thinking of you when he designed it. You want to put a jump in your step, be mindful of the moments that regrettably often slip by, and make an effort to remember the One who makes all things possible. What a blessing it would be to daily stretch the curtains that inhibit our senses, so that we’d more readily recognize the purpose and plans that have been lovingly designed for us.

Pray on...
