“My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises! Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations.” Psalms 57:7-9 NLT
From where does my confidence come? It comes from the Lord; the Lord is my salvation and my rock. It is because of my God that I can sing. There is something special about waking in the morning with psalms on our lips. Our very breath is a unique part of our creation.
“Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7 NIV
How true it is when people say their very breath comes from the Lord. It is at this point of our creation that God becomes the most intimate with His created being, it is with His very breath that He gives life to humanity. And so, there is something special about how we chose to use our breath, a breath given to us by our God, literally and figuratively. Let us awake early in the morning and with the first breath of the day let us break out in song. A song of confidence to the Lord our creator and redeemer. What greater song of thankfulness and praise among the nations can I give then the song of my redemption. So, let our hearts be set on fire with the dawning of the day, let our theme be a song of praise and redemption a song to be sang in the morning among all the nations.
Lord let me meet you early in the morning with a new song on my lips. Let me sing a song of thanksgiving and a song of praise to Your holy name among all the nations. May the first breath of each day be always given to you in song. Amen.
