Psalms 5:3
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Adonai; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.
The Master is always there for us, waiting to help us. He waits for us to make the connection; He waits for us to call ‘home’ for help. Sad to say, much like our grown up children, we don’t call home until we need that help.
Should He have to wait till the day is done, till our ships come home with broken sails for us to come to Him to sooth our souls? And in turn, should we wait till we have tried all our keys in the lock, failed to find any solutions, the time when our frustrated and vexed hearts and minds desperately want to know what went wrong?
Why should the Master be expected to be the ‘Repairman’ of our lives? Shouldn’t He be the ‘Chief Executive’ Isn’t our Lord the Master, the ‘Jacob’ and the ’Joseph’ on whom even Laban and Potiphar leaned? Laban and Potiphar, these worldly people put their households in the hands of God’s man for the hour, and everything flourished and came to fruition. These secular rulers didn’t know the Lord, but they recognized His power through His people, through His ‘agent’ in their lives. Why don’t we recognize as much? Why do we carry the burden? Why do we insist on directing our own steps, when we have Yeshua, God’s ‘Man’, God’s ‘Agent’ in our lives who eagerly waits to help show us the way throughout the day? Sometimes His presence in our lives is even through someone we know that He planted there for that purpose.
Let us acknowledge that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps (Jeremiah 10:23). While we acknowledge that you are the Creator of the universe, may we make You O Adonai the Director and manager of our hearts, minds and souls; be the focus of our attention. When we wake up in the morning, as King David did, let us receive our first instructions from You.
