Prayerfulness
“Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken
unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will
look up.” (Psalms 5:1-3)
Today’s Morsel: What
better voice for God to hear in the morning than yours. Just think, Jesus knows
your voice. And I don’t think that anything could make Him happier than
for His children to rise up early and to give Him thanks and praise for all
that He has done and is doing for them. The Psalmist said, “My voice shalt thou
hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee
and will look up.” Because Daniel had built a life of prayerfulness, his voice
was heard when he prayed. The angel Gabriel told him, “Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou
didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy
words were heard, and I am come for thy words.” (Daniel 10:12) On account of thy prayers I am
sent to comfort and instruct thee. His prayers were heard, and an answer ordered to be
given, the very first day he began to pray and fast and mourn, though it was
now a full
three weeks later;
just as at the beginning of his former prayers, God had given Gabriel a commandment to go and show him that they
were heard. Old prayers never die. Are you directing your prayers in the
morning? Let Him hear your voice the first thing in the morning.
Sing: Whisper
a prayer in the morning, whisper a prayer at noon, whisper a prayer in the
evening, so keep your heart in tune.
Thought For Today: Old
prayers never die
