My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up Psalm 5: 3
David was a man after God’s own heart. God gladly spoke concerning him that, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will
(Acts 13: 22). It is God’s will for you to wake up early in the morning
to have communion with Him in prayer. In our text today, David
expresses his commitment to pray at cock-crow. He decided to make God
hear his voice early in the morning by directing his prayers to Him.
David prefers to look unto God rather than looking unto man for help.
This is highly profitable for every adolescent. The Psalmist declares, I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth (Psalm 121: 1, 2).
Prayer
is an integral part of the Christian life. Each day must begin with
prayer and end with it. The first things true believers do very early
in the morning is to pray, read the Bible and spend
enough time to pray during the period of quite time. Your quiet time is
better observed in the dawn of the day before the mind is engaged in
the day’s business activities. The Bible says, And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed (Mark 1: 35). You need a quiet and an undisturbed moment to really pray and study the Bible
every morning if you will grow as a Christian. Believers who are
careless with their quiet time at the break of day often find it
difficult to overcome the temptations of the devil during the day.
Question: Does God know your voice?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to be consistent in observing my quiet time for growth and strength.
