In The Morning
Mornings are one of my favorite times of day. It is in the morning that I look to Yahuah to help me start my day. There can be many thoughts in my head in the morning, but I begin by talking out loud to Yahuah (Lord), praising His name, thanking Him, and asking for His direction. Most often I write in the morning. When I do write in the morning, the days seem to go better because I seem to know the right track to run on for the day. Even now as I am writing, I am getting that sense of Yahuah showing me the right road. I read a psalm this morning that reminded me of this.
Psalms 143:7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
Here we see David looking for that “loving-kindness” in the morning, that first start to the way to walk. He trusted Yahuah (Lord) to show him the way to walk. David continues by saying he runs to Yahuah to hide from the enemies. At the same time, he looks for Yahuah to teach he, David, the way to walk. David finishes by asking that Yahuah, in His mercy, would cut off his enemies and destroy those that afflict his soul, because he wants to be a servant to Yahuah.
Wouldn’t it be great to be like David, trusting in Yahuah and looking to Him every morning for that spark for the day? I believe we can do that today as believers. Our Father wants to give us good gifts and a life to lead unto Him. He is a true and loving Father, and wants His children to be with Him and talk to Him everyday. If you strugle some mornings, take time to cry out to Yahuah (Lord), and ask Him for that spark of direction and loving-kindness like He gave David. He will do it for you and for us all!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our only wise King. We need Your kingdom in our lives and Your love in our hearts. We bless the name Yahuah! Send us today Your abundant blessing. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that would steal from us. Many are there that would crush Your people and blot out Your name. Rise up, O King, and in Your mercy cut off our enemies, for we want to be Your servants. We ask all these things in the name of Messiah Yeshua. Amen.
