Psa 5:1-3, … GIVE EAR TO MY WORDS, O LORD, CONSIDER MY MEDITATION. GIVE HEED TO THE VOICE OF MY CRY, MY KING AND MY GOD, FOR TO YOU I WILL PRAY. MY VOICE YOU SHALL HEAR IN THE MORNING, O LORD; IN THE MORNING I WILL DIRECT IT TO YOU, AND I WILL LOOK UP.
EVERY MORNING DAVID ROSE UP TO PRAY TO GOD, TO GIVE HIM THE BEST OF THE DAY! JESUS DID THE SAME! DO WE?
Mar 1:35-36, NOW IN THE MORNING, HAVING RISEN A LONG WHILE BEFORE DAYLIGHT, HE WENT OUT AND DEPARTED TO A SOLITARY PLACE; AND THERE HE PRAYED. And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him.
WHILE JESUS WAS PRAYING PETER AND THE OTHERS WERE SNORING! PRAYER TO JESUS WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HIS PHYSICAL NEEDS! BUT IN CONTRAST VERSES 4-6!
Psa 5:4-6, FOR YOU ARE NOT A GOD WHO TAKES PLEASURE IN WICKEDNESS, NOR SHALL EVIL DWELL WITH YOU. THE BOASTFUL SHALL NOT STAND IN YOUR SIGHT; YOU HATE ALL WORKERS OF INIQUITY. YOU SHALL DESTROY THOSE WHO SPEAK FALSEHOOD; THE LORD ABHORS THE BLOODTHIRSTY AND DECEITFUL MAN.
As we draw closer to HIM we can clearly see man’s depravity! GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE; THAT IS HIS NATURE! YET SCRIPTURES SAYS THE LORD HATES 7 THINGS!
Pro 6:16-19, These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A PROUD LOOK, A LYING TONGUE, HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, A HEART THAT DEVISES WICKED PLANS, FEET THAT ARE SWIFT IN RUNNING TO EVIL, A FALSE WITNESS WHO SPEAKS LIES, And ONE WHO SOWS DISCORD AMONG BRETHREN.
The sad reality is this is found in ALL MEN AND WOMEN! No one is exempt from this truth! BUT HE CAN TRANSFORM OUR HEARTS AND MIND; EVEN THE HARDEN PERSON!
Eze 36:26, I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART and PUT A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN YOU; I WILL TAKE THE HEART OF STONE OUT OF YOUR FLESH AND GIVE YOU A HEART OF FLESH.
1Pe 3:12, FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR PRAYERS; BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO EVIL.”
