As we continue our 30 day 24/7 prayer watch on the ellipse leading up to David's Tent, dawn remains one of my favorite times of the day. There's just something so special about watching the sun come up as our gaze remains fixed on the Son. Seeing light overcome darkness brings great joy to my spirit, even as God continues to show his new mercies every single morning!
I've posted this video before, but if you haven't seen it yet make sure you check it out!

Here's another photo I took of dawn on Constitution Avenue, bordering the ellipse. This photo really screams Psalm 57 to me as we awaken the dawn with prayer and worship every morning! It's all about You Jesus!
Psalm 57:7-11
7My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
8 Awake, my glory![b]
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
Be abundantly blessed, see you at the tent!
Ryan
