Morning comes with the rising of the sun, and the sun -- which gives life to the earth with its warmth and light -- represents the Lord in His divinity, bringing spiritual life through love and wisdom. Thus, the morning represents the coming of the Lord into our lives, and all the things that flow from it: the love, joy and enlightenment He brings; the peace and tranquility of passing the spiritual obscurity of night; the anticipation of the learning and usefulness of a new day; and the awareness of The Lord's renewed presence.

7664. “因为这是耶和华为我们设的节期” 表每一个人对主的敬拜. 这从 “节期” 的含义清楚可知, “节期” 是指怀着欢乐的心情敬拜 (参看7093节). 它之所以表示对主的敬拜, 是因为在圣言中, “耶和华” 是指主 (1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5663, 6303, 6905, 6945, 6956节). 它表示每一个人的敬拜, 这一点从前面的话明显看出来, 在那里, 经上说 “他们要和他们的孩子, 他们的老人, 儿子女儿, 以及羊群牛群同去”.
