Most everybody has some kind of morning routine to get us ready for the day ahead. It usually involved hygiene, food, reading, and getting everyone else ready. If our routine gets disrupted or if something goes wrong in the routine, we may be in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
Psalm 92:1-4 says, “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.” Scripture often declares how good it is to give God the praise and thanksgiving due to Him. Remembering His steadfast love in the morning prepares us to trust Him throughout the day. Focusing on God’s love early in our day, gives us assurance and helps set our attitudes in the right direction. When we speak of His faithfulness at night, we are declaring that God did many awesome works on our behalf during the day. As the psalmist wrote, thinking of God’s faitfulness displayed to us throughout the day makes our hearts glad.
