Good morning. Welcome to the morning motivation, brought to you by Petra Gold Group in the

Public Square app. Came across his line from the great Puritan John Bunyan. He said,

you can do more than pray after you have prayed. but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.

Yes, of course, you do more after pray. But there's nothing you can do till after you pray.

Going through Psalm 5, just the first few lines of Psalm 5.

Oh, Lord, in the morning, David said.

Oh, Lord, in the morning, you hear my voice.

In the morning, I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

That word watch we're going to talk about tomorrow.

But the idea of the morning, you can approach

God consistently. It sounds like David has been making the beginning of his day a priority

for him and God setting the stage for the day. There's something special about the morning.

David didn't have to say morning.

Lamentations 322.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.

His mercies never come to an end.

They are new every morning.

There's a good devotional by Paul Tripp.

I think it's Paul Tripp called New Morning Mercies.

Something about the morning, a fresh, a new start over again.

This is a great idea that we've introduced to the kids as well.

Like maybe the night didn't go so well
