Gift of life, gift of the new day, should make one realize the worth of being a human being. Understanding this mystery would compel your personhood to surrender yourself before the Creator in praise, worship and adoration. Your existence and everything else depend on the unlimited supply of grace that we enjoy, at times not realizing the full worth of it, take for granted, or not fully appreciating; but He never fails to supply time and life in their abundance to us, His beloved craft of creation. Hence, may we take the suggestion by David who sings aloud to remind us of the morning schedule that should come to our mind, for gratitude is true and the best expression of holiness: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” (Ps 100:4) Gratitude is the gift and offering that you should provide to God, invoking the name that is beyond all names. “Because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth—even those long ago dead and buried—will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father.” (Phil 2:9-11)

Abba, Thank You for the holy reminder of the job that we need to perform right in the morning. Let Your Spirit accompany us in this mission of performing the priestly duty of praise as believers, In Jesus’s Most Glorious Name, Amen.
