Do you have a particular morning routine?  I do and I can get thrown off when I don’t quite get it right.  Today was one of those mornings where it was a struggle.  The morning at home went well but then I arrived at church and promptly spilled my coffee.  I walked back home to change my pants and realized I left my keys back at church and couldn’t get in.  I walked back to church and realized my keys were locked in the church office.  Luckily I found another early bird co worker who let me in. I grabbed my keys and walked back home to change.  Did a quick change and came back to church.  Then I realized that indeed my keys were yet again left behind in the pants pocket of the original pants.  Back home had to crawl in a window because once again locked out grabbed the keys and finally made it back sat down to write this devotional and told Alexa to play worship music.  Typically the newest worship mix plays but The first song I heard was an old Third Day tune that was one of my favorites it comes from the words of Psalm 36 so let’s look at that together today.  

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the skies.

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
    your justice like the great deep.
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

They feast on the abundance of your house;
    you give them drink from your river of delights.

For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light we see light.

When that song played I started smiling.  Not only did the tune bring back some great memories but that’s the way God typically works.  None of my morning hiccups were big deals but often days that start like that can put you in a bad place mentally for the rest of the day.  This song and the reminder of God’s faithfulness was liking hitting a reset button on my day.  So today is off to a good start for me now.  I hope these verses and my story helps you off to a good start as well.  

In His Grip,

Pastor Dave
