Psalm 143:8, "Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul."
I am definitely more of a morning girl. Perhaps it was all those band mornings; or my parents, in my teenage mind, being obnoxiously loud in the mornings 😁. But I rather be in bed at 8pm and up at 4 am.
I love the promise of every morning. It's like you get 365 new year's resolutions each day...to be the best you...to honor God, be a better mom, be a more patient teacher, a better wife (actually enjoying cooking...lol), etc. I sit and do my quiet time by windows so I see the sunlight start breaking through the trees and shadows play and life come alive as squirrels scurry and birds peep.
It is intimate time with God...in His Word, in His creation...and it brings me joy. It is a daily reminder to put my trust in God and depend on him for His guidance and deliverance.
Throughout the ages, as many have done, as David did when he begged God to not hide His face from him. David realizes his own unrighteousness and prays to God: first asking forgiveness for his own sin and then help, knowing that it is only through God's mercy and pure grace that he would be delivered and knowing that because of God's faithfulness, he can always go to God...always.
That's a sweet way to start a day.
