I usually did my quiet time after dinner every night, and so didn’t have the habit of waking up early to read God's word. After making an appointment with God during service last Sunday to meet Him first thing in the morning every day, I was very excited and really eager. Excited at the idea of waking up to a most important appointment every morning; eager to start every day speaking with, and more importantly listening to Him. I really pray, and I believe, that this excitement will last through all 150 days!
God is really good! Even as I sought Him with eagerness and excitement, He spoke to me and His presence was with me the whole day. It truly is different, not only does God speak to me as He meets up with me in the morning, His word accompanies me throughout the rest of the day and He would use situations to give me a better understanding and interpretation of what He told me in the morning.
When I meditate on Psalm 1, there was no big booming revelation. I was simply reminded of how He is a God who "watches over the way of the righteous" and destroys "the way of the wicked". As I read the chapter, I was very comforted to be reminded that it really does not matter if the world scorns or even punishes the way of the righteous; it is enough to know that God will watch over us and our righteous way. This is the only thing that matters :)
Blessed is the man whose delight is in the law of the Lord and who meditates on His law day and night. As I am excited about a-psalm-a-day, I will go beyond the pure excitement of meeting God every morning and make deliberate and conscious efforts to see the interpretation and application of what He tells me every morning, in the rest of the day.
