Morning Direction From Scripture 7-2-20

QOPH
145 I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord,
and I will obey your decrees.
146 I call out to you; save me
and I will keep your statutes.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I have put my hope in your word.
148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promises.
149 Hear my voice in accordance with your love;
preserve my life, Lord, according to your laws.
150 Those who devise wicked schemes are near,
but they are far from your law.
151 Yet you are near, Lord,
and all your commands are true.
152 Long ago I learned from your statutes
that you established them to last forever. Psalm 119: 145-152
Do you like the hours before dawn? What are they there for?

COUNTING THOUGHTS
by J LILLIE
Gathering storm clouds
My thoughts count man’s transgressions.
There’s no turning back.
Intending to hide.
From the thunder, we instead
Run straight into God.
Evening Meditation 7-1-20

TSADHE
137 You are righteous, Lord,
and your laws are right.
138 The statutes you have laid down are righteous;
they are fully trustworthy.
139 My zeal wears me out,
for my enemies ignore your words.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
and your servant loves them.
141 Though I am lowly and despised,
I do not forget your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is everlasting
and your law is true.
143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,
but your commands give me delight.
144 Your statutes are always righteous;
give me understanding that I may live. Psalm 119: 137-144
How does understanding give us life?
