Been up since 5am this morning. Couldn’t get a good sleep last night, thanks to waking up late yesterday, add that to an afternoon nap, a fan that makes too much noise and an unusually hot weather, it takes a lot to deprive me of a sound sleep, but it did.

But DaddyGod turned it around for good. =) Kindof a “there may be ‘pain’ in the night but joy comes in the morning” experience. (Wasn’t pain of course, only lack of sleep.)

I woke up early to spend some solid time with DaddyGod. Not something I do very often, I admit, have been quite a lazy bum child of God who happens to be lazy, but DaddyGod never shortchanges me. A solid time with Him, and you are overflowing in your heart.

Got to watch the sunrise today. Something I don’t get to do often, either. Yes, I am an early bird, but I don’t wake up at 5 everyday.

The sunrise was really, really beautiful. I mean, I’m sure you can get a better scenery elsewhere, but for staring out of an HDB flat in Singapore, I think it’s comparably beautiful. It was a rainbow hue, caused by the sun coming out against the dark blue sky.

If you have been following me on Facebook or Twitter, you’d know that I tried to use my phone camera to take a picture of it, but it couldn’t capture the subtle difference in hue, and my Samsung camera’s out of battery. Haven’t carried it around for ages since my CG’s got plenty better cameras, and obviously didn’t bother to change it, either.

But it was really beautiful. Caused me to think, why did God make the sky blue?

Because (knowing that blue symbolizes divinity in the Bible) the heavens declare the glory of God. (Psalm 19:1)

But here comes the exciting part: why did God cause the sun to create a rainbow hue in the sky every morning?

Rainbow is a covenant sign from God in the Bible that He will no longer judge the earth.

Because He wants us to remember, every morning, that because of the Son (whose face shines brighter than the sun *hint hint*) and what He did, God is no longer out to judge us (Gen 9:14), but to love us.

What a beautiful thought to take into 2010. =)
