Morning praise to God.

Another day is here. The sun is shining and this verse comes to my mind.

"In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly"  Psalm 5: 3


Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Lord, I my vows to thee renew;
disperse my sins as morning dew,
grant my first springs of thought and will,
and with thyself my spirit fill.

Direct, control, suggest this day
all I design, or do, or say;
that all my powers, with all their might,
in thy sole glory may unite.  Thomas Ken

Even in retirement I find there is plenty to occupy my time. There is never a dull moment. I pray that I may use my time wisely to bring glory to the God I love and serve. Let me today uphold the name of Jesus in word and in deed.
