Let’s head to the Old Testament today! Think of what King David wrote.

“I will sing of Thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning” (Psalm 59:16).

David is being hotly pursued by wicked King Saul who wanted him dead. No one could have been any more loyal to Saul than was David. But the fruits of anger grew from the root of bitter jealousy in King Saul’s heart.

I have witnessed the fruits of jealousy and anger in my lifetime experience of working with people. It is a terrible thing. This is not my focus for today, however. My focus reminds us of David’s response to God’s protection and blessing. There is nothing worse than being up in the night as either sickness, pain, or tragedy robs us of sleep. As the morning’s first light dawns and the darkness of the night abates, hope and encouragement springs. David sings of God’s mercy in the morning. What a wonderful blessing. Someone should write a book and entitle it “Mercy in the Morning!”

How will this affect you today? I am thankful for God’s mercy. It is the morning light that dispels darkness.
