The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: I never appreciated the beauty of morning light or noticed how different it was from other times of day until I started taking pictures. Now I not only notice it but I get up early and search for it. On this one special day in Badlands National Park I saw the morning light totally transform the colors of the rock from the dull brown of midday to brilliant orange hues.
As David wrote these words I imagine him looking back over his life as king. Being a shepherd I am sure he had experienced the beauty of the golden light of morning. He also knew the kind of king he wanted to be. He knew that the times when he was that kind of king were times when he trusted in God’s power and served under God’s authority. He wasn’t always that kind of king but his kingship pointed to the one that would be the kind of king that would bring God’s righteousness to the world. It is King Jesus who brings the golden light of justice. The challenge for us is that now we are called, through the power of the Spirit, to bring justice to our world. It may be in small individual acts of service or larger actions with our community of faith. Either way we, in God’s power, bring the golden light of morning to our world. What will you do to bring God’s golden light to your world today? Prayer God of Light Shine in our lives the golden light of morning so that we can reflect your love and justice to our little part of your world. Amen
