I Arise Today...



I came across this wonderful poem this morning tucked inside a book and it was so nice I just wanted to share it with you as a morning blessing.

I arise today through strength in the sky:

light of sun and moon's reflection

dazzle of fire

speed of lightning

wild wind

deep sea

firm earth

hard rock.

I arise today

with God's strength to pilot me:

God's might to uphold me

Gods wisdom to guide me

God's eye to look ahead for me

God's ear to hear me

God's word to speak for me

God's hand to defend me

Gods way to lie before me

God's shield to protect me

God's host to safeguard me.

This is a Celtic poem translated by John Skinner. I hope you enjoyed it and remember the blessings yet to unfold this and every day.
