Between Darkness and Light

I went outside this morning while darkness lingered and the song of frogs and crickets played. As the sun began to emerge from behind the trees, there was a moment of silence between morning and night.  There was stillness and quiet between darkness and light, before the new day's dawn and bird's morning song.  Before the winds began to blow and the trees clapped their hands, the earth was still and quiet before its' creator.

I cannot help but think how this simple scene from everyday life is like that of a person emerging from the darkness of sin and death to the light of salvation, life and peace.  There should be a moment when they are still and quiet before their creator.

But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
—Psalm 131:2

Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
—Psalm 21:6

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
—Psalm 37:7
