alarm clock

These are the words of someone with a great burden, which he brought to the Lord, and now he has emerged from his depression and fear with a new zeal to worship God. Normally, the dawn was his alarm clock. It wakes him up, but now he cannot wait for the day’s new light so that he can tell the world about his wonderful Savior. He has become the world’s alarm clock.

Lord, fill us with a burning desire to wake up the dawn with your praise.
