TUESDAY, 1 JULY
TEXT: PSALM 6:1-10
TOPIC: BEGIN THE DAY WITH PRAYER
King David was a very busy man, but he did not allow his leadership responsibilities to suffocate his regular appointment with God.
Sometimes Christians and, more especially, leaders, rationalise that they are too busy doing God’s work that they don’t have time for God.
The irony of this situation is that Christian leaders have time for meetings, appointments and conferences but no time for regular prayers, like Jesus (Mark 1:35).
We need to understand that prayer is not something you do; it is something you make time to do.
Psalm 5:3 infers that although we can pray anytime throughout the day, it is always good to begin the day with prayer.
The psalmist repeats his conviction to begin the day with prayer, thus: “…in the morning my prayer comes before you” (Psalm 88:13).
QUESTION
Do you and your family observe a family altar, especially in the mornings?
PRAYER
Help me, dear Lord, to develop the habit of prayer alone or with family members, especially at the beginning of the day, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
