Scripture: Psalm 5: 1-3
Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. 3 In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
Scripture Commentary: Get up early in the morning and see the glory of the Lord.
What is the first thought that comes to you in the morning when you wake up from a very good night’s sleep? Do you thank God for giving you this day or do you have no thought whatsoever? Do you take the day for granted?
When you have a close relationship with God, you pray to Him day and night. Prayer is your conversation with God. He is listening to you.
Prayer is how you get to know God because He already knows you.
When you pour out your heart to God as David and Jeremiah did, they asked God to correct them gently and not in anger. They recognized that if God treated them with justice alone, and no mercy, they would be wiped out by God’s wrath.
Think of this: If God judged us as we truly need at times, we all would be in trouble. But God, in His grace and mercy, gives us time to correct ourselves. We cannot measure God’s kindness and forgiveness and love.
