Consider This

Psalm 5:1-3 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

God knows the thoughts of your meditations. There is not a single thought that escapes God’s notice. Consider this the next time you pray. You cannot lie to God. We do however lie to ourselves.

The first and primary consideration in prayer is interpersonal relationship. Since God knows your every thought, the primary purpose of prayer is to know Him and ourselves. It is in your prayer closet, where you and God are alone that the Spirit of Truth sheds light upon even our very thoughts.

Prayer in the morning gives you an opportunity to get in some private time before the demands of life interrupt. Time always seems to be a problem with us. God has called you to be a good steward. As such you have responsibilities within this life that you have to answer. God would not have you fail to be a good steward, nor would He have you ignore Him either.

Have you ever considered that as you go through your day God is with you and not only knows the desires of your heart but every thought you have all day long. Do you keep an awareness of that fact in the back of your mind, or do you act as if God is clueless?

Galatians 6:7a Be not deceived; God is not mocked:

Psalm 94:11, 19 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

The differences between these two verses in Psalm 94 are man’s thoughts of himself and man’s thoughts of the comforts of the Lord. The first is a life without respect of thought for the Lord, the second is a Godly consideration of thought.
