Two contradictory attitudes can claim your morning. You can awake and say, “Good morning, Lord,” or you could say, “Good Lord, it’s morning!” The choice is yours. The same is true with the way in which you spend your earliest part of the day. In Psalm 5, David knew the importance of beginning his day with intentional worship.

O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice.

Psalm 5:3

God is worshipped because He is God. Period. When you begin your day acknowledging that, then each action and each thought more readily becomes part of adoring Him the whole day long. You find yourself thankful for each cup of coffee. You sing praise as you drive your car to work or run your errands. You’re awake, alert – yes, alive – to wonders around you. Ongoing communication with the Lord happens without having to think about it. You are chosen, loved and favored by the One who matters most! And you respond, humbled in awe and reverence. That’s worship’s wonder.

Make your commitment to please God, glorify Him, and live devoted to worship – beginning first thing in the morning. Pray for America’s leaders to find that same awesome wonder starting with a personal saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
