Psalm 5

"Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;  in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up." Psalm 5:1-3
"But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; in fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way straight before my face." Psalm 5:7-8

In the morning, all of creation sings praises to You, God!

I sit here and listen to the cows and the birds, each with their voice singing praises unto You. The flowers even raise their voices as they lift their heads toward the sky and reflect the sun's light. I'm amazed at the various melodies and tones that assault my ears. One proud bird this morning has been singing "Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy" for a good hour! I wonder what that means in his tongue!  But You know!  He's not as adamant as the "squeaky" bird that often awakens me. The bird that sounds like the squeaky thing I remove from my dog's toy! On mornings, he decides to sit outside my window, his tune (or lack of) is amusing at best. But for all his effort he never ceases in raising his voice, as you gave it to him!

LORD, my prayer this morning: let my praises, as I lift my voice, be as constant and as joyful as the birds that sing to you each morning! Let me be as fervent as the least and as zealous at the greatest! Even if I sound like a squeaky toy, may it be a joyful noise unto You! And may my words only glorify You with every utterance of my mouth!

Until You return; let the words of my mouth be acceptable in Your sight!
