God’s Loving-Kindness is New to Me Every Morning
January 24 – Today meditate on: God’s Loving-Kindness is New to Me Every Morning
Isaiah 30:18, “The Lord [earnestly] waits—expectant, looking and longing—to be gracious to you, and therefore He lifts Himself up that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you; for the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed—happy, fortunate [to be envied] are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy and His matchless, unbroken companionship].”
Psalm 5:3, “I pray to You, O Lord; You hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer and wait for Your answer.”
“Blessed is the day that is opened with prayer! Holy is the dawn that finds us on ‘top of the mount’ with God!” -author unknown.
Psalm 51; 1 Peter 4:7, early morning prayer with God. Job 35:10, songs in the night (hope in the darkest hour). 1 John 5:4-5, our faith is our victory over the world.
“1 Chronicles 23:30, in the Old Testament the Levites were required to arise and ’stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at evening.’ In the New Testament, 1 Peter 2:5, 9, all believers are priests and the Lord expects them to commune with Him daily. And those who begin the day with God are most likely to sense His presence in all that they do.” -author unknown.
Acts 3:19, “So repent—change your mind and purpose; turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing—of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air—may come from the presence of the Lord.” (NS)
