A rooster crows on a distant farm. The alarm disturbs our comfortable rest. We blink at the dawn with a sigh, "Oh, maybe I'll just hit the snooze button one more time." Mornings can be tough. I have a son who really should wear one of those hotel "do not disturb" signs for a while after he first rolls out of bed. After a shower, he's fine but until then keep your distance or you might just awaken a grouchy old bear :)
David was excited to get up early. The sound of a distant rooster thrilled his heart. Why? He was going to spend time with the LORD and in praise to Him.David met the dawn with a song in his heart.
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.-Psalm 108:1-3
What should our response be to the One who has given us everything?
We need to wake up to praise.
Father, thank You for Your mercies, new every morning. Thank you for all the many wonderful blessings You have so freely given us. You deserve our highest praise. You are the only One who is worthy of all glory, honor and praise. Father, remind us to seek Your face and worship You every morning. In Jesus' Name, amen.
Daily Selah is a mini-devotional, a pause to ponder about the Lord and how He wants us to live.
