Psalm 5

"Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch. ... Let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, so that those who love your name may exult in you." Psalm 5:3,11.

Whereas Psalm 4 was a good read at the end of the day this Psalm is a good one for the start.   The verses between 3 and 11 speak about those who speak lies will be held accountable (let's not tell any today no matter how good it makes another feel) as well as those who ... well, let's clean it up a bit - do those things that God abhors.  Our challenge for the day is to live into "taking refuge in God" for then God will watch over us.   It is kind of freeing to live into this reality cause then it is not by our power and might it is God's and our role is to rejoice and sing for joy ... ah to be so blissfully innocent again.  Good morning.
