Today: [Psalms Five] David’s Morning Routine. In this psalm we see the morning routine of David. King David like all of us had a morning routine. He included God in his thoughts first thing and sought God every morning to examine his thought life and prayer life. Verbalized prayer was an important part of David’s prayer habit and it was important for him to exercise himself in prayer early in his day. He didn’t shellac his shortcoming or failings or pretend he didn’t have any problems. He simply started every day with a petition for God’s mercy from a posture of transparency, faith and trust that God was working in his behalf.
