The Morning Glory

On the first day of the week, our Lord Jesus rose up from the dead (Matthew 28:1). It was morning then and this tells us something about the morning season.
Spiritually the resurrection morning signifies a period of revival and resurrection. It is also a season of joy. Psalm 30:5 says weeping may endure for a night but joy surely cometh in the morning.
The glory of God the father raised christ up from the dead and Romans 8:11 says that that same glory would quicken our mortal bodies. God wants us to live in his sight and experience that same glory, the power of resurrection. He wants us to be where he is and to desire only things above - the worship and the passion. If we died with him then we also rose with him and are sitted in glory with him.
The cock crows this morning admonishing us to awake from our sleep and follow the patterns of God. The morning star is also there radiating his glory and saying to all of us. Arise! Shine! for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. The cock is saying - its morning awake. Wake up from your slumber and I will give you light. He is crowing reminding the peters of what the Lord has told them. He is removing delusion and the spirit of lying from their minds thereby restoring them.
The morning stars rejoice exceedingly for it is morning. They celebrate their Lord with trumpets and harps they praise. There is always a celebration of joy in the midst of the angels when a sinner comes to know the Lord and experience the morning season.
Let us learn to walk in this light for the path of the just is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter until the perfect day. It`s morning already yet there remains a season of the morning that we are yet to get to. In that season the trumpet will blow and christ would appear picking his ready saints from all over the globe. Our bodies would be changed and we would be like him for the fullness of the power of resurrection would be poured on us.
For now we only have tokens of that power which is to come and we groan to be clothed with our heavenly tabernacle, to know the redemption of our bodies yet we rejoice knowing that the sufferings of this world are nothing compared to the glory of the age to come.
The morning glory radiates more and more as we rejoice in the Lord. He fills
our lamps and prepares us for christ, our groom who would come when nobody knows. Selah
