The First Moment

Well this is an exciting time, a first, a dawning in my life! My first deep thought on my first blog. What a wonderful thing to do something for the first time. Can you remember back, to all those firsts in your life. My first captivating glance at my wife Heather, my first look at my girls Morgan and Marlee, the first diaper I changed, my first experience with the power of God in my life! Firsts have a way of embedding themselves in our souls don't they, infusing their experience, emotion, joy, pain, and wisdom into the fabric of who are and who we will be.

Habakkuk's Prayer

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth .
2 LORD, I have heard of your fame;
I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD.
Renew them in our day,
in our time make them known;
in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His glory covered the heavens
and his praise filled the earth.

Do you remember your first with God, that awe inspiring moment when you first felt the warmth of His love, the incomprehensible feel of his grace in your life. Maybe the secret to living in a deeper connection with Him is reconnecting with our first?
What about today? I wonder what other firsts I will experience today? What about you?
