Start With Joy…

“You make known to me the path of life…”
—Psalm 16:11a

“Let this new day begin with joy in your heart. Start this day by releasing the troubles that assail you into the caring hands of Jesus. Bask in the glory of His love and grace. Let your voice well up with singing. Let your mind and heart soar with thoughts of gladness.

“This new day opens a new beginning for you. Seize this day with enthusiasm. Rejoice that Christ has risen and claimed victory on your behalf.”

So reads a Call to Worship for an Easter Morning Sunrise Service. God intends for us to greet each new day with the same joy we feel when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

As the Psalmist has written in Psalm 16:11:

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Eternal pleasures! Joy in the morning! A newness of life to kiss the new day! Hallelujah!
