I wonder what we’re all proclaiming each morning? Is it “Oh no, I don’t feel like getting up today?” Or “I don’t want to fight the traffic today”, or “I don’t want to go to work today”. Or are we just so thankful we woke up this morning, that the Lord gave us breath in our lungs, thankful we can see and hear, thankful for food and shelter, thankful we belong to God and He loves us?
It’s easy to get bogged down with the mundanity of every day routines isn’t it and even feel a bit grumpy about it? But we’re reminded by the Psalmist to start and end our day with thankful, praising hearts even if things didn’t go our way in between. He knew our God is always worthy of our praise and God knew if we’d take our eyes off the affairs of life, off ourselves, and fix them on Him, we’d be able to bring things back into perspective.
The Psalmist reminds us to dwell on all the Lord has done and is doing for us every single day, to remember the past trials He has already brought us through, the times He helped us and strengthened us when we thought all was lost.
Praise God we do still have breath to lift up the name of Jesus today, and once again proclaim His unfailing love in the morning, and His faithfulness to us in the evening. We thank You and give You all our praise Lord. Amen.
