Malachi 4:2

A blazing sun climbs above the horizon over open ocean, framed by the silhouette of a palm trunk and sweeping fronds that turn to dark lace against the fire of the morning sky. Malachi’s promise that “the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays” could not find a more literal or more breathtaking fulfillment than this — a sun actually rising, pouring warmth and light across open water as if the verse itself called it forth. Every sunrise carries the same message it has carried since creation: darkness ended, light won, and healing comes with the morning. This is a piece for anyone stepping into a new day, or a new season, and needing the reminder that the rising was promised long before the dawn arrived.
