sunset...sunrise


Two people I am praying for each day are at the "sunset" of their lives. For neither of them is there any fear of the future...but a calm peace about the promise of tomorrow in God's Word,
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him." I Corinthians 2:9

Someone else I visited today is about to be released from jail; another is about to return home from a rehabilitation center. For them, a new day awaits them..a day of hope and renewed opportunity. God's Word promises, "...in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us..." Romans 8:37.

So whether riding into the sunset of life, or facing the sunrise of a brand new day, what shapes the landscape of our future is the content of our relationship with God.
