“He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭33‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Not a sunrise, but the rise of our first sunflower of the season. Some of the sunflowers are so tall we may need a ladder to make photos. Or maybe a drone shot will work when all are blooming?

“One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭27‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬
