THE DAWN WILL COME
Just imagine=
What the apostles FELT
They were out at sea=
In the predawn hours-
With the wind and storms
Whipping up=
Where was Jesus?
Nowhere to be found
To make matters worse=
A ghost
APPEARED to be
Advancing towards them
“But at once-
He spoke with them=
'Take courage-it is I
Do NOT be afraid'” Mark 6:50
But it was Jesus=
He was RIGHT HERE=
He was walking on water
THE DAWN will come=and
Jesus will be there
And the dawn will come
IN OUR LIVES=and we will find out
Jesus was ALWAYS right there
With us=walking right BESIDE US
It is always the darkest
RIGHT before dawn comes=
We will not be alone
THE DAWN WILL COME=
Do not be afraid
“He will make
Your righteous reward
Shine like the DAWN
Your vindication-
Like the noonday sun” Psalm 37:6
“The people walking in darkness
Have seen a great light=
On those living=
In the land of deep darkness
A LIGHT HAS DAWNED” Isaiah 9:2
“The people living in darkness
Have seen a great light
On those=living in the land
Of the shadow OF death-
A light HAS DAWNED” Matthew 4:16
It can be HARD for us too=
Just like it was for the APOSTLES
And like the apostles=
We will see him=when we NEED HIM
The DAWN WILL COME!
We face so much in this world=
When we LOSE a loved one=or
Get a frightening medical diagnosis
When we don't get that
Job promotion=or job raise=
OR LIKE NOW=when there is so many PROBLEMS
Facing this world=because of the pandemic
But we need not be afraid=
THE DAWN WILL COME!
Jesus will come to us
“Even in darkness=LIGHT DAWNS
For the upright
For those who are
Gracious-and compassionate=and righteous” Psalm 112:4
“........as to a light
Shining in a dark place
Until the DAY DAWNS
And the morning star rises
In your hearts” 2 Peter 1:19
When we believe in the LIGHT of God=
THE DAWN will inevitably COME
In Jesus' name=and in the name of our ever living-loving=EVER BRIGHT GLORIOUS FATHER!
