5:48 AM
Psalm 12
v8 Worthless things, Lord, worthless things -- the world pursues, cheats for, lies for, and kills for worthless things. Forgive me, Father, for all the times I put worthless things first. Some worthless things are good, Lord…they are just not the best things, so in the big picture of eternity, they are worthless. It's not easy to give You pre-imminence in all things -- it goes against my human nature -- but in my spirit, in my heart, I want You to be first. I want to be second.
You know all my sins and the thoughts that run contrary to Your thoughts. Forgive my sins, and even better, cleanse me from my sins for the sake of Jesus and what He did for me on the cross. Fill me with Your Spirit and give me true wisdom.
v1 Loyalty is in short supply here on earth, Lord. You said "the loyal disappear" -- and that's true. People will turn their back on each other … on You! … in just a moment. And for what? Worthless things. I want to be loyal to You today, Lord; I want to be loyal to my family; and I want to be loyal to Your Bride, the church…my church.
Thank You for my life; for my salvation; for my health; for my family and my wife; for a ministry to serve You. Everything I have, am, and will be is in Your hands and is a blessing from You. Help me be loyal today to the One Who gave me so much. Thank You (such inadequate words). I am second.
