Let the Morning Speak of His Love

-


“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.” – Psalm 143:8

Each morning, when we wake up, it’s a reminder of God’s unfailing love for each one of us. It’s a good way to start your day to know that the Most High God loves you and cares for you. Even before you opened your eyes, God was already thinking good about you. When you know that you have an overflow of God’s love in your life, you will carry on your day with confidence by putting your trust in Him.

As David writes, “Show me the way I should go” reflects surrendering our lives over to Him. God knows what’s best for each one of us better than we do, and when we surrender the control or the reins over to Him, He will be able to direct our lives to the best place He wants us to be. Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust the LORD with all your heart…and He will make your paths straight.”

Each day carries its own challenges and problems. Rather than being worrisome and depressed, we can choose to hide in God’s presence. We can turn to God for protection and comfort when troubles of this life come against us. Often, we rely on our own efforts and resources to feel secure. But that will not stand against the schemes of the enemy; it’s only through God’s help that we can feel at peace and find refuge in Him.

Psalm 143 encourages us to have a teachable heart. A heart that doesn’t just know the will of God but lives it. As we surrender our hearts to God and live according to His will, the Holy Spirit becomes our guide to righteousness and through the Holy Spirit, we find peace and stability even in the midst of uncertainty.

Reflection Thought:

Psalm 143 is a reminder that each day before the sun rises, God’s love in your life has already gone ahead of you. You can relax and rest your confidence in God, knowing that He loves you, He cares for you and has good things in store for you. As you start your day, know that God is still in control and let His Spirit guide and protect you as you continue trusting and acknowledging God in all your ways.

Prayer:

Our Father in Heaven, we thank you for your unending love that is new and fresh each morning. Thank you for your ever-present help in times of trouble. We believe that your presence goes ahead of us, leading, guarding and providing us with your peace through your Spirit, in Jesus' name, amen.

WALKING WITH GOD IN EVERY SEASON

How Joseph’s Life Reveals God’s Faithfulness Through Every Stage of Our Journey Like the tides of water, life seems to follow the movement of rising and falling. Even as seasons in our lives keep on changing, God doesn’t. He remains faithful in every season. His presence meets us even in the most unlikely and unfamiliar places and in desperate situations. His presence goes with us even when circumstances appear as though we are abandoned, forgotten, and defeated. God is the author of your story, just as He was with Joseph’s. He’s writing new chapters and preparing your breakthroughs, unimagined new opportunities, and restoration. In Genesis 39, Joseph finds himself in unfamiliar circumstances. Being sold as a slave in a foreign land would only indicate that his life was on a downward trend. However, even as the tide turned against him, painting a picture of loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment, he was not alone. Genesis 39:2 reads, “ The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered .” G...

God Calls, Covers, and Completes

" Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus ". -Philippians 1:6 In Nehemiah Chapter Two, we find Nehemiah heavily burdened by the news he received about the city of Jerusalem, whose walls were broken down and gates burned with fire. Nehemiah, still in exile, served as a cupbearer for the Persian king. As he was serving the king with wine, the king noticed that Nehemiah was troubled at heart. Nehemiah told the king about how the city of Jerusalem was in ruins and asked for permission to rebuild it. Not only that, but he also asked for resources to rebuild it. And the king granted his request. The king of Persia could have denied Nehemiah’s request, but instead, he granted it. All these requests were granted to Nehemiah, “ because the gracious hand of my God was on me .” – Nehemiah 2:8. God has a purpose and a mission for each one of us. Even before we realise what His missions for us are, Hi...

Trust Beyond the Silence

  “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. ” – Psalm 13:5 Psalm 13 is one of the shortest psalms of David, and yet a powerful one. In this psalm, three times he asks, ‘ How long? ’ indicating a phase of deep distress and abandonment in his life. He begins this psalm by asking God, “ How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Just as David did, when we are in distress, abandoned, lonely and forgotten. Or when we are in a season of waiting and things seem to move more slowly, we often find ourselves complaining to God with questions like, ‘Why me, LORD? Why do I have to suffer this? How long will I endure this pain and sickness? How long will you let them continue to torment me? When will you look to me with favour? Often, when we don’t have what we need or are not where we should be, we begin to complain, find fault and lose faith in God’s plan. And yet we forget that God is ever faithful, even in momen...
