A morning sunrise prayer and praise with two sweet Jesus
girls was on the agenda the other day. I’m not much of a beach girl but I love
the beautiful sunrises and sunsets and of course the majesty of God’s amazing creation.
It was the perfect morning to head out before the sun woke up and take these
two precious girls who are running after Jesus to the ocean to share a time of
prayer as God breathed life into another blessed day for us.
There were more people there than the last time I had gone
for sunrise but it was still quiet and unrushed. We set our towels down,
snapped a few pictures of the sun beginning to peak over the ocean and then
spent some time in worship and praise of our God in all His splendor and
majesty. As we sat down on our beach towels to open God’s Word we noticed a
young man standing in front of the water with arms outstretched in praise. It
blessed our hearts to see another soul praising our God!
A little bit later this same young man came and in all
humility shared with us how he was blessed to see us out there praising God and
felt led to come and encourage us in Christ and pray with us. He was in town
for business training and desired to come to the ocean and worship God at
sunrise but almost gave up on the idea because it was so early. He had called
his girlfriend on the phone to share the experience and said he was blessed to
see other believers there in worship as well. So together, we bowed in prayer, hand in hand, to lift high
the name of Jesus and encourage one another to continue living life in Christ
and stand in unity as we seek HIM. I asked his name, Timothy, and thanked him
for his prayers and encouraged him as well as he left to stay strong in Christ.
What a blessed morning! In a world that seems to be moving
further and further away from Christ, God encouraged our hearts with another
brother in the Lord. Timothy blessed our hearts and we will continue to pray
for him as well.
Today is a new day to give God praise! Wherever you are,
whatever your schedule holds this day…give God praise and worship Him in all
you do. You never know who is watching your life and who will need
encouragement in Christ. Today, let’s commit to sharing with the world the
greatest news of all…Jesus, and let’s encourage our brothers and sisters in
the Lord!
To God be the glory, great things HE has done!
“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you
are already doing.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)
“Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one
can measure his greatness.”
Psalm 145:3 (NLT)
