Today’s Reading: Psalms 5
Today’s Verse: My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Psalms 5:3 KJV
Maintenance is a set of processes and practices that aims to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of things.
We all try to take care of all the things we physically have obtained. We do it to avoid having the expense of health issues or replacing things.
When it comes to our spiritual lives, maintenance is important also.
We need to take the time each day to read the Bible. To pray and to listen to God.
It is the key element in avoiding a breakdown in our lives.
David wrote, “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up” (Psalms 5:3 KJV).
Even in the verses that followed, he poured out his heart in praise, thanksgiving, and made requests unto God.
Many of us find it extremely important to begin every day with the Lord.
We do it before checking emails, catching the news, exercising, or eating breakfast.
We take some quiet moments alone to read a portion of God’s Word.
Giving Him praise for His greatness. Thanking Him for His love. Seeking Him for His guidance.
Everyone may not do it in the morning but still spend time reading and praying at various times of the day.
We all have the ability to set a time each day to water our seeds of faith.
To reap the rewards He has in store for our lives.
The Word tells us, “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”
The seed is His Word.
The more we read the Word and pray, His message is sown into our hearts.
We can go through our day with confidence that His Hand of love and protection is with us.
Let us make every effort to spend time in the Word.
Asking the Savior to fill our hearts with His presence on this road of life.
Maintenance through God’s Word and prayer is always what is best for our lives.
Try it. He is listening. One hundred percent guaranteed.
