You make the

     going out of the morning

and the evening

            to shout for joy.

              Psalm 65. 8

(Sunrise and sunset

     --the bookends of the day--

are a visible and awesome mark

              of His Presence

that we count on every day

                   like clockwork.

They are the imprint of the Almighty

       which no one can ignore,

but on which we can recognize

as a call to worship the Creator.

And they are a reminder

    that this is a day He has made.

How do we follow Him into it?

How can we bring Him glory?)

O LORD,

You surround us with beauty

       to remind us that

You are among us.

You walk with us,

     even in the hard stuff,

     even in mystery.

You bring Your glory

            to this very day.

May we acknowledge You

    in whatever we do today.

And point others to You.
