How is everyone doing with the Bible reading this week? I am still trying to get myself into the good habit of getting up early! Normally I do this pretty well--but summer time has allowed me to stay up later than my normal bedtime, and I am NOT one of those people who can burn the candle at both ends! So I am still working on getting myself to bed earlier, so I can wake up earlier. So I am still a bit more rushed in the mornings currently than I want to be, but today's chapter was great incentive for me to continue in trying to improve this!
The verse that spoke the most to me today was verse 3:
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
Umm, yes. I caught that. In the morning, BEFORE I begin rushing through my day. BEFORE the new problems of that day show themselves. BEFORE I start rushing--and forget HIM. You know--the One who made me. The one who sustains me. The one who saved me. And perhaps--the One who waits all night long just because He can't wait for me to wake up again so we can be together. Yes--THAT One.
My study Bible had this note included with Psalms 5:
"In arousing and strengthening a love for Bible study, much depends on the use of the hour of worship. The hours of morning and evening worship should be the sweetest and most helpful of the day. Let it be understood that into these hours no troubled, unkind thoughts are to intrude; that parents and children assemble to meet with Jesus, and to invite into the home the presence of holy angels."
Education, E.G. White, p. 186
THAT'S what I want. God's holy angels always in our home. And they will come--if invited.
So it's time for me to put the brakes on--and lift my voice to Him in the morning.
What verse impressed YOU from Psalms 5?
