4 Reasons to wake up! / GOOD MORNING!

TODAY'S READING: 2 Sam. 6; 1 Chr. 13; Ps. 68; and Mt. 17

SCRIPTURE[S]
Ps. 68: 3,17,19,& 35

3] But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. 17] The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.
19] Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
35] You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!

OBSERVATION / APPLICATION:

1] The Psalmist says; may the righteous, [those living in right relationship with God] be glad, rejoicing, happy and joyful- now that worth getting up for.

2] The Psalmist reminds us; God is powerful, and has all the resources we will need for today's battles, chariots on chariots, as I arise it is with confidence and a shrug of the shoulder saying, "The battle belongs to the LORD"

3] The Psalmist praises the one who every day, bears our burdens, the LORD, God, our Savior and I stretch my arms, lifting them to my God, knowing that He is going to take care of me this day.

4] The Psalmist concludes, God is awesome, yes awesome in His sanctuary; giving power and strength to his people. Now I am wide-awake knowing I AM HIS SANCTUARY, I AM HIS CHURCH, and today, yes today I will praise Him. GOOD MORNING!

PRAYER

LORD God Almighty;
I rejoice in you
I rely on you
I raise my voice in praise too you
I recognize my sufficiency comes from you alone
I ready myself for whatever life brings my way today, trusting in You to supply.
I realize, I am your church, and I praise You.
