ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
August 15, 2020

Scripture
: Psalm 5:1-3
Give ear to my words, O Lord; give heed to my sighing. Listen to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I pray. O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.

Thought for the Day: In the morning… Don’t you imagine that some people hear those words as if the writer is simply giving God a heads-up in regard to a scheduled prayer time the following day. “By the way, tomorrow I plan to add prayer to my already busy schedule.” That might be one way of reading those words, but I’ve got to believe that this person is speaking about a practice, a daily habit that is prayer. The Psalm begins with what sounds like a request, “Give ear to my words…,” but then it transitions to a declaration of faith. The author of the Psalm announces how God will hear what is offered. This is not someone speaking of a casual acquaintance, but a deep and trusted relationship – a relationship that has its origin in a daily gathering where there is both sharing and listening. I can’t imagine that such a relationship is created haphazardly and without consistency.

Prayer: Thank you for always being available to us in prayer, O Lord. May your consistent presence not be taken for granted, but honored as we create a more consistent practice in our own lives. Amen.


THANK YOU!

To All
