Today I am enjoying a hot cup of Heavenly Caramel Coffee from the Door County Coffee Company. As you all know I like to start each day's devotional by letting you know what coffee I am drinking. Someone asked me why I do that.
It all started with some friends on Facebook. I would say good morning and tell them the flavor of my coffee and then post a Bible verse. It just seemed to carry over when our church started a blog.
But the truth in all this is that I enjoy early mornings. I usually have my dog with me., while drinking a cup of coffee somewhere either at home, in the car or in my duck blind. I watch the sun come up, read some scripture and pray. This may sound a little foolish to some, but for me the sunrise, the coffee, the dog, Scripture and God is a Holy Moment. Now truly, it is God, prayer and Scripture that makes it holy, not the coffee or the dog. Our dog reminds me of how blessed I am to have a cup and an affectionate, loyal dog.
But it is that sunrise that reminds me that God is on His throne. His Word leads me each day, and I know He listens to my prayers. Wherever I am is then Holy Ground because I am reminded that He never leaves me.
Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV) Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Psalm 113:6 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.
God bless,
Love you all.
