My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

Morning and Evening (oh yeah .. noon too) - Psalm 54-56
Are there three greater Psalms to read in the morning than these three? I suppose any three of the Psalms would be great to read but these three just seem to sing out in perfect harmony to the dull and dreary soul. David writes these three Psalms when he is being chased by Saul; someone who David served loyalty until the day of Saul's death. Yet, Saul sought David for no reason and hunted him like a dog. David, in the midst of this hunt, "journaled" these three Psalms for our good pleasure through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. David wants God to know that he is going to continue to pour out his complaint to God, morning and evening and at noon too!! (55:17). We sometimes think that "spiritual people" don't complain. We are taught by the religious leaders of the day that true believers simply Trust and Obey. Yet, here we have King David, running and hiding out in caves and complaining and murmuring morning, noon and night. And, yet, despite the lack of faith and the ever presence of fear, David pours out his complaint to God and states with boldness, "and He will hear my voice." We need to rejoice that despite our pathetic continuous cries, God is there listening and ready to respond. We can cry out to God at ANY TIME and know that He HEARS US! God is the God with ears to hear His children. David was not afraid to tell God how he felt in these three Psalms. God hears and heals. Let's rejoice in God's hearing and healing power that David praises God in Psalm 55:1-3. I will rejoice in God's hearing and healing.
