Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.
My scripture reading this morning took me to Psalm 132, and I was captivated by verse 5 about not resting “until I find a place for the LORD.” That sentiment aligns so completely with what I try to do each day with my reading and devotional reflection, and I feel fairly adept at rooting myself in His love, mercy, and grace each morning.
Psalm 5:3 In the morning, LORD, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly.
But my sweet Savior knows I still have work to do as I try to align myself to Him completely throughout my day. While He and I share a close, intimate connection for the first hour of my day, once alarm clocks start barking at 6am, the world constantly tries to pull me from Him with the noise and haste of life. Jesus, help me.
Psalm 132:4-5 “I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids till I find a place for the LORD….”
Lord, Thank You for this day and the connection that we share each morning. Thank You for the awareness that I still have work to do when it comes to aligning myself to You so securely that the world and its insistent chaos cannot intervene. Help me to always find a place for You at the core of my being. Draw me always closer, Lord. Amen.
Psalm 48:2 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised….
Have a blessed day.
