Start Your Day Right — Part 2
“Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in Thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk” (Psalm 143:8).
Here is another essential element to starting our day right. Listening to the voice of the Lord, so that we can know His mind and the way He would have us go, what He would have us do, and how we can please Him and live for His glory and as a testimony to the world. How then do we hear His voice? We open our Bibles, the Word of God, and we read a few verses or a chapter or two if we have time. David not only spoke to the Lord in the morning as we learned yesterday, but he listened for the Lord’s voice speaking to Him.
This again, will spare us many a mistake and frustration in our Christian pathway. If we speak to the Lord, asking for His help and guidance, then we need to listen to His voice as He seeks to direct our footsteps in the right way.
If we start our day right by reading and listening to the word of the Lord, then we will be able to say, like Ezekiel, “And in the morning came the word of the Lord unto me” (Ezekiel 12:8). Then, we will have a good day, in spite of what difficult circumstance or problems may cross our path.
