「住在地極的人，因你的神蹟懼怕，你使日出日落之地都歡呼」。
（詩六十五：８）
早晨起身，上到山去瞧瞧神如何創造早晨，神把太陽推向地平線，朦朧的灰暗消逝，
到渾圓的太陽出現之時，各種顏色混合成了一幅完美的光彩。白晝莊嚴地漸漸展開，
它的光明，已遍照大地和每一低谷，你可以聆聽天國合唱團的樂曲，在歌頌的尊貴下
和早晨的榮光。
早晨的純潔之光，使我的心渴慕真理，惟有這種仰望真理之心，能使我純潔如早晨，
使我和周圍的自然交響樂和諧合拍起來。日出時吹來的風，使我盼望神，祂曾首先把
生命的呼吸，吸進我鼻孔﹔盼望祂始終以祂的生氣和生命來充滿我，使我所想的只是
祂的思想，所過的只是祂的生活，在我自己的生命中，只發現永恆的光榮。假若沒
有神的夜和早晨，我們這些可憐的人類該怎樣辦呢？～麥克唐納

“Thou makest the outgoing of the morning and evening to rejoice.” (
Psa. 65:8.)
Get up early and go to the mountain and watch God make a morning. The dull gray will give way as God pushes the sun towards the horizon, and there will be tints and hues of every shade, that will blend into one perfect light as the full-orbed sun bursts into view. As the King of day moves forth majestically, flooding the earth and every lowly vale, listen to the music of heaven’s choir as it sings of the majesty of God and the glory of the morning.”
The clear, pure light of the morning made me long for the truth in my heart, which alone could make me pure and clear as the morning, tune me up to the concert-pitch of the nature around me. And the wind that blew from the sunrise made me hope in the God who had first breathed into my nostrils the breath of life; that He would at length so fill me with His breath, His mind, His Spirit, that I should think only His thoughts, and live His life, finding therein my own life, only glorified infinitely. What should we poor humans do without our God’ s nights and mornings? --- George MacDanald.
