I am always amazed at the unique new sunrise that God brings each morning. The color explodes in the tapestry of the Heavens as I look up and get a glimpse of God's splendor. Each day a unique combination of color and light, unlike any other day before. A constant reminder of a new day and new, unique opportunity to see God create a work of art in us and in the lives around us.
As I climbed the mountain this morning, I could see that rising over the other mountains was an amazing array of light and I knew another awesome sunrise was coming. As I turned the bend to ascend to the top of the mountain, the scene was unfolding behind me. I wanted to look back, but yet I wanted to get to the top in good time and turn to see the fullness of it all from the highest point. I continued on with anticipation of what I would see when I got to the top, fighting the urge to turn and spoil the surprise of the precious new sunrise.
It made me think of all the times in my life that I have wanted to look back and just 'check' to make sure I hadn't missed something. All the times I have had to will myself to continue on, trusting in God's amazing plan and anticipating the splendor of His glory. There are times when we see His plan unfolding before our eyes and there are times we must just continue on, moving forward and trusting in Him. He will reveal something unique, beautiful and amazing...in His timing.
Today I enjoyed a refreshing walk, a wonderful time of fellowship with God AND the bonus of a gorgeous sunrise!

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. Psalm 145:3
