Heavenly Morning Glories

The Bible states five special blessings for each morning.

God brings joy in the mornings (Psalm 30:5).

God loves anew every morning (Lamentations 3:2223).

God visits every morning (Job 7:18).

God enables us for service every morning (Isaiah 50:4).

God promises an eternal morning (Isaiah 21:12).

We call these blessings heavenly morning glories.

They are like the morning glory flowers (Ipomoea nil) whose heart-shaped leaves remind of Gods love, whose trumpet-shaped flowers give muted sound of Christs return, whose covering vines hint of the reach of Christs forgiving power, and whose unraveling flowers promise newness and color to Gods creation.

The Heavenly Morning Glories are part of a treasury of unusual spiritual meditations, some of which include the following:

The Banqueting House

The Unlived Life

Baca

Opportunistic Witnessing

The Full Quiver

Doubting Believers

The Language of Tears

I Love the Lord, Because . . .

Euroclydon

These spiritually enriching meditations were born from thirty-five years of the authors pastoral ministry to several churches.
