Proverbs 11:27
He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour:
But he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
(Literal translation: he that ges up early in the morning seeking the good things will find God’s favor: but he that gets up to devise mischief, it will fall on him.)
I heard it said once: we are the sum total of the very decisions we make. I think it is so true, and our feet usually take us in the direction in which we are looking.
The morning is such an important time. The first few moment of the morning can decide the path, program and destiny of our whole day. In the days of the temple, a lamb was sacrificed every morning at dawn. This early morning offering would envelop every sacrifice laid on the altar that day. In the very same way, every morning as we get up, we ought to look at the sacrifice of the lamb for us; take the time to reflect on what it means for us. then let us bring the full burn offering of our person on the altar of god’s presence, present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. Let us then not to pray and ask for such things as protection and supply, but lay ourselves as a sacrifice to whatever He has decided for us that day. Who knows, maybe He has seen fit to bless with a great trial, a gigantic problem this day that would teach us the greatest lesson of our lives; we wouldn’t want to miss it by praying for protection from all evil tidings, right?
On the other hand, if we do not get up in the morning looking towards the Pascal sacrifice for us, but rather towards the idolatrous selfish ways of the world and lay ourselves on the altar of our own will that morning, this very evil will come back to us. We will certainly be blessed with ‘what we want’, at the cost being blessed with God’s perfect will for us.
Me friend, in the morning, look towards Jerusalem. Look towards the Holy Temple. Dot you see? Do you see the smoke rising up to the sky? It is the Pascal lamb killed for you. Let us come now together; let us go up to Jerusalem; let us bring the full burnt offerings of our lives for Him that we may be found in Him when He returns.
