One of my most favorite things to do is to get up early and go out on my back deck to enjoy the sunrise. With coffee in hand, I find my comfy chair to relax and this morning something new got my attention. I can hear the most beautiful music. There are no car sounds and everything is still except for the beautiful music. The music is an early morning symphony of praise for the new day. All the birds of the air are singing their praise! The melodies are sweet, joyful and yet they all are different.
That music brings to mind the verse "Early will I seek you.." First thing in the morning the birds are singing their happy tune before the movement of the day starts. That is a life lesson in itself. All is very still yet the birds are singing their song. Who am I that I will not praise my God first thing in the morning, but the birds will? What does that teach us? There is something to the early morning praise that can set the tone for the whole day. The time I spend with God encourages me greatly and reminds me to praise Him early in the morning. If a bird can then so can I! We have so much to be praising him for each day. Don't let the birds be the only who does the praising.
O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirst for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. So I have looked for you in the sanctuary, to see your Power and Your glory. Because your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. Psalm 63: 1-3, NKJV
