Our Dawn Chorus

Good Morning Beauties!
I was awoken this morning by the birds sining outside of my window. Their praise and worship could not be ignored, and it filled my heart with joy and wonder. “Why do birds sing in the morning?” I found myself typing that very question into my phone. The answer was beautiful. The orchestra of all the different birds singing is called “Dawn Chorus.” Magnificent!
Birds start singing in the pre-dawn minutes, that precious time before the light of day shines. This time of day has always been special to me. I love to get up early, while it’s still dark, and spend time with God, before the rest of the world wakes up, and it’s just Him and me.
Along with His creation, Jesus also spent this glorious time of day with His Father. “The next morning, Jesus got up long before daylight, left the house while it was dark, and made his way to a secluded place to give himself to prayer.” Mark 1:35 The Passion Translation
It’s in these private times with my Savior that I find the greatest joy. His presence surrounds me with His love and I’m strengthened. Where do you find joy? Love? Strength? Is it the Lord, or do you look to something else? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
