Brand New Day
Do you ever wonder why God in His wisdom divided up time into blocks of days, weeks, months, seasons, and years? Does the repetitive cadence of these divisions give you comfort?

Do the daily sunrise and sunset, or the seasonal seedtime and harvest, lead you to give thanks to the Creator for His faithfulness? . . .

Don’t we often find when we zoom out and see our troubles from a distance everything appears peaceful and harmonious, just like in the image above.
