Good Morning Friends,
“In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.” (Psalm
5:3)
David was called a “man after God’s own
heart.” He was not a perfect man by any
means. He was, however, a man who was
devoted to God. He knew he was dependent
upon God for his very life. He needed God’s
help and regularly cried out in desperation to Him.
Whenever David was in need, he cried out to
God in prayer. He didn’t have to wait
for special prayer times to address his needs to God. When the need was on his heart, his thoughts
were lifted to God in prayer.
On the other hand, David didn’t neglect a
regular time of prayer, either. Morning
by morning David focused his attention on God and took his requests to
God. This psalm speaks of that
practice. In the morning David prayed to
the Lord. In the morning he put his
requests before God. The morning was
David’s regular time of prayer.
Morning, evening, midday, the time of the day
that we set aside for regular prayer is not the issue. The point is that we need those set times to
focus our attention on God and make our requests known to Him.
Call on God at any time a need is on your
heart and He will hear your cry for help.
But don’t neglect to be disciplined in your regular times of prayer,
too.
His, by Grace,
Steve
