Mornings Cold

For if each day were the same

How boring and exhausting would that be

Is this why God has placed us in time

Motion and change to grow and believe

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. (Psalm 90:2)

This morning offers a cold

New change we haven’t felt

Not this year or season

No not even yet

First cold day of the season

Calling us to light the fires

Time to dress more warmly

Pull out the warm winter attire

Isn’t the first always the best

When we are so delighted

It’s like wow we have never

And we become so excited

But as it settles and stays

Why do we lose the sense of newness

Somehow we become less enthralled

Old hat treating it as a nuisance

Today I hope we choose

To enjoy as we embrace

The changes as they come

The differences we face

For if each day were the same

How boring and exhausting would that be

Is this why God has placed us in time

Motion to change to grow and believe

And if we pay attention

Each season heralds a story

Speaking about eternity

While describing God and His glory

We know the heavens declare

The mountains and hills will sing

The oceans yes they roar

The sun reminds us a time for everything

The moon now set for seasons

The stars tell stories in the night

What is about the sounds

Crackling fires with bright light

Yes if nothing ever changed

How dreary bland and bleak

So let us set our hearts to enjoy

As we listen and the earth speaks

Showing us our Creator

And to tell of all His glory

Because with each change

He is telling His story

Give me ears that hear

And eyes that I may see

Open my mind to only

What You can make me conceive (1 Corinthians 2:9) it is revealed to those who love Him.

Romans 1:20 (NLT)

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
