Psalms 143:8 (NAS)
Let
me hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in Thee; Teach me the
way in which I should walk; For to Thee I lift up my soul.
Psalms 143:8 (NIVUS)
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 lift up my soul.
When a small child awakens in the morning, his first thought is for his mommy or daddy. As a child of God, you want to hear your Father's voice at the beginning of the day. You listen carefully for His kind and loving words. You want to know that you are still in His favor and surrounded by His mercy. You do not want to hear reproof, but you desire that Adonai grant you His grace once again, for He is your refuge. You can trust and be confident in Him. In Him you are secure and have hope.
You seek and inquire of the Lord your God at daybreak. You need Him to show the course that you should take that day. You want to walk according to His will, so ask Him to show you the way. He will advise and instruct you in your journey, for He is your familiar friend, who guides your steps and disciplines your conversation.
Therefore, lift up your soul to the Most High God. Accept what He has prepared for you and He will cause you to advance. You will arise and bear much fruit. Your yield will be great, for you are honorable and respected. The Lord your God looks upon you with high regard.
