Today's promise: Blessings come from obeying God
When and how do you pray?
It is good to give thanks to the
Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing
love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening, accompanied by the harp
and lute and the harmony of the lyre. You thrill me, Lord, with all you have
done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done.
Psalm
92:1-4 NLT
Giving
thanks morning and night
What a way to start the day! The
verses in Psalm 92 represent one of the first prayers on the priests' lips on
the Sabbath day: "You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for
me!"
What if before you read your morning paper, before you head out the door, before you start the countless tasks you have to do for each day, you determine that you're going to start your day with praise for how God has "thrilled" you? Right now, you have the chance to start afresh. A new day is before you. Why not start things off right with a regimen of praise instead of the old routine? In prayer today, proclaim his unfailing love, and tonight, before going to bed, praise him again for his faithfulness.
