AWAKE EARLY! – Psalm 57:8 Devotional

AWAKE EARLY!

Psalm 57:8 – Devotional

Psalm 57:8​

“Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.”

Our family has made numerous road trips over the years. I think I developed the habit of starting very early in the morning from my dad. When I say “early in the morning,” I mean well before dawn. It just seems that the lack of traffic that early allows you to make much better time. It is almost like reducing the travel time.

I can recall on those trips watching the first hint that dawn was near. The eastern skyline gradually appeared out of the darkness and minute by minute it became more pronounced. Before long gorgeous colors began to emerge and you knew that dawn had arrived.

As we make our way through this sin-darkened world, it often seems as if we are being swallowed up in the inky blackness of depravity. It is during these times that we need to focus our attention on God’s eastern sky…dawn is about to break!

Keep your spirits up, dear hearts! In Psalm 30:5 we are reminded: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Never lose heart as you travel through these dark hours — dawn is always near.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
