Early morning commercials, the ones that air on TV before 6:00 a.m. promote products to remove wrinkles for aged faces and they use time lapse pictures. Perhaps the time slot for this promotion is because somebody thinks seniors are the only ones up at that time. If we are, as a side note, I know we are saying, “Thank you Lord for one more day!”
Now, regarding the time lapse in the commercials that I just mentioned, I don’t know if the product really works or not, but one thing I am very sure of, a real time lapse, a time lapse that is not a commercial. You can experience it by staying in the camp of the righteous, letting the Lord establish your steps, and by knowing that the Lord is the One who holds you firmly in His hand.
David expressed the time lapse that I am referring to in his own words, as inspired by God. I know it is inspired by God for it is on the scriptures, and you know, all scripture in our bible is inspired by God. You can read David’s words below, early this Tuesday morning, especially if you are up like me and my Baby-Boomer friends, and you rose up early, blessed to see another day! Oh, who am I kidding, if you work up you have been blessed, regardless of how old you are! Right! Well, pause and smile and send up some praise to God! Now, go out and experience, all day long, the graciousness of God, notice the beauty and the detailed intricacies of His incredible creation and of course, my friend, “Be blessed!”
“I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his descendants begging for bread.” (Psalm 37:25 NASB)
