| Start Your Day Right — Part 1 |
| People have different opinions as to how to start their day right. Some will tell you it is a good stiff cup of coffee. Others need a hot shower, while still others take a jog around the neighbourhood or head to the gym for an early morning workout. |
| Prayer was an important part of King David’s life, and an important element to starting his day right. He 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” (Psalm 5:3). What a good lesson and pattern this is for us. Many a problem, frustration, and headache, could perhaps be avoided, or at least lessened if we would start the day right by spending a little time talking to the Lord in prayer, and asking for His help and direction. |
| David didn’t just limit himself to prayer in the morning. He also stated, “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice” (Psalm 55:17). He was like Daniel who, “Kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime” (Daniel 6:10). |
