How Majestic!

 "The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue.  Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.  The Lord is all I have and so in him I put my hope."  Lamentations 3:22-24

This is the verse that came to mind as I stepped out into the cool, crisp morning and saw this beautiful, spectacular sunrise.

I could see God painting this impressive image of the soft pink clouds and the sun peeking over the horizon.  The light blue background made me feel calm and confident.  This panoramic site prepared me for understanding this verse from Lamentations.

The prophet, Jeremiah, knew about God's faithfulness.  He told the people of Israel that there would be punishment due to their wicked ways.  Which there was.  But God also promised restoration and blessings.  Trusting in God's faithfulness gives us confident in the future.

When I see a sunrise such as this, I know that God is majestic!
