Morning Sunshine!

Psalm 5:3, "In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation."

Stream of consciousness:  as I sat down to write this, beside being convicted, this  Dan Fogelberg oldie but goodie popped into my head.  Some of the lyrics:

"And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning

Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to
Say but
Come on morning"


I am definitely a morning girl.  I cherish being in bed early and the morning is my time.  I love watching the sun come up and break through the leaves from my little "cubby spot" where I have my quiet time.  It really is a sacred time for me.  But I am sorely lacking in my "war room" time...I talk to God all day, but to spend alone time just praying, I was convicted (and envious) by this verse.  David's first thing was to pray to God because he sensed his need for God's assistance very keenly (Dr. Constable)...prayer was his first work...in the morning when he was fresh, lively, composed.  I know this would be true for me too..."Yes, it's going to be a day".  I sure would love to spend that time, when I am fresh...yesterday's worries gone, today's worries have not yet come...to just be...be still, sit at His feet, listen, be held.  Doesn't that sound glorious??  "Come on morning"
