Morning by Morning, March 14 - “Be Steady and Be Ready.”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Make me more like You today (1 John 4:17).
As I settle into my prayer chair for my morning time with You, I immediately hear in my heart:
“Be steady and be ready.” ...
Yes, Lord. The nations are in an uproar. The kingdoms of the world are being shaken. Propaganda and accusations, anxieties and lies, confusion and chaos, high prices and low morale seem to daily sweep over our minds to try to defile our souls. But at the same, You say, “Be steady.” You say, “Be ready.”
It’s almost like the world is in a set-up for salvation. So let us “be steady” with our eyes and our hearts fixed on You. Let us “be ready” with the words of life You’ve put in our hearts to share with a desperate world seeking hope that can only be found in You.
The Words of Psalm 46 come to mind to confirm Your word to me this morning:
“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved;
God will help it when the morning dawns.
The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter;
He utters His voice, the earth melts.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
Come, behold the works of the Lord;
see what desolations He has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear;
He burns the shields with fire.
‘Be still, and know that I AM God!
I AM exalted among the nations,
I AM exalted in the earth.’
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah” (Psalm 46:1-11).
Yes, Lord. I will Selah--I will pause and think about it; I will ponder Your Word in my heart. And by the power of Your grace at work in my heart and soul and mind and strength, I will “be steady and be ready.” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
