"Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing."
Psalm 143
Timely reminder.Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. 9 Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you. 10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Psalm 143:8-10
I love the idea of a reminder each morning of God’s love. As humans we so easily forget things. Imagine setting your phone (or Alexa) to remind you first thing every morning of God’s unfailing love. The word “unfailing” jumped off the page. As humans we live with failure – our own failure or the failure of things around us. The one thing that does not fail is God’s love.
As the Psalm goes on, he asks God to:
• Show him the way.
• Rescue him from enemies.
• Teach him to do God’s will.
• Lead him.
The Psalmist affirms his faith in God
• I have put my trust in you.
• to you I entrust my life.
• I hide myself in you.
• you are my God;
Prayer:
Lord, let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
Show me the way I should go,
Rescue me from my enemies, LORD,
Teach me to do your will,
Lead me on level ground.
