Psalm 143
Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the
morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk;
For to You I lift up my soul.
What do you hear when you awake in the
morning? The sound of the coffeepot
grinding the beans, the noises of crying children who want their food now, and
the to-do list screaming at you as if it has lungs?
We recently videotaped a fun time at the park
where my husband was flying a kite with our grandson. When we were actually there, all I
concentrated on was whether or not the wind was blowing and if we could keep
the kite in the air, hoping Gideon would squeal with delight.
But when we played back the video on our phone,
we heard birds singing loudly in the background, and both of us commented on how we
totally missed those songs in the moment of flying the kite.
Perhaps if we awake to His lovingkindnesses in
the morning, his goodness to us, his songs he sings over us, and his mercy that
flows like a waterfall…our trust would be stronger throughout the day, and our
path where we walk a little more clear.
Who knows, we might even find ourselves skipping
instead of walking, as we lift our souls to Him, soaring in the sky without a
care in the world.
