A Series from the Psalms
I welcome the light of the morning,
which gives me the strength to rise and answer God’s call.
Tulips respond to light.
Even after they are cut, they continue to stretch, reach, and open.
There is something sacred going on.
A kind of persistence. Do you think?
Psalm 30:5 reminds us that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Morning is not just a time of day.
It is a time when we wake.
We listen.
We hear our heartbeat.
And we turn toward hope. A hope that God is going to do something incredible. Even if we can’t see it yet.
Like a tulip waiting for the right moment to burst through the ground, we wait for God’s hand to guide us through the seasons of life.
Like tulips, we move through seasons of darkness and cold. We have nights that feel long and moments that lack clarity. But God is always working behind the scenes, like in the ground where tulips prepare to bloom.
God is shaping us. Polishing us. Preparing us.
There’s no pressure.
No expectation.
Just an invitation.
The tulip teaches us that beauty is not rushed. Growth is not hurried. And joy—true joy—arrives in its own time, carried by the faithfulness of God. A God that loves us with an everlasting love.
May you feel the warmth of God’s light.
May you grow in the ways you need to grow.
May joy rise in you like morning light and
be full of promise and hope.
