Psalm 119:164 "Seven times a day do I praise you."
How often do we look at time as our enemy? We seem to be always rushing to beat the clock; to try and accomplish at times more than is physically possible. Leighton Ford writes in regards to Psalm 119:164:
"In those long ago days time was measured by positions of heavenly bodies, not by mechanical devices. The young poet marked the segments of his days by the seven times he stopped to lift praise to the Creator...so the hours became reminders to pay attention to God."
Do I measure my days in light of His presence - his calling me to himself? Do I prioritize my hours in light of what the Holy Spirit is asking me to do or according to what myself or others insist is urgent?
May each hour, each minute of every day become 'reminders' to praise and be lead by our heavenly Father.
