"CRY UNTO THEE DAILY!"

Psalms 86:1-10                (KJV)
"1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am "poor and needy".
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my GOD, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O LORD: for I "CRY UNTO THEE DAILY".
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, LORD, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O LORD; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD; and shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art GOD alone."



When I awake every morning it is my desire to have the first act of my heart to talk with the LORD.  This morning my thoughts were on how tired HE must be of my asking for this or that to fulfill my needs AND DESIRES.  Then I started thinking of when my children were growing up and they would come to me with their needs and desires and how I would do whatever I could to satisfy their needs and desires.  In Matthew 7:11 JESUS told those who were listening if we who are evil can give good things to our children, "How much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask him?"  

When I "CRY UNTO THEE DAILY" it is not as if I am telling GOD anything new!  HE made us all and HE knows our strengths, our weaknesses, and where we will fail HIM that day.  Psalms 86:5 says "For thou, LORD, ART GOOD, and READY TO FORGIVE; and PLENTEOUS IN MERCY unto ALL THEM that call upon THEE"!

Sometimes I can see where GOD may allow us to go through some valley's so that we will HAVE TO depend on HIM to get us through!  The are numerous scriptures that say GOD is a jealous GOD!  HE desires for us to depend upon HIM.

GOD is also VERY loving and will not give us something HE knows will harm us.  Although we cannot see the danger in having a desire, GOD can see the BIG PICTURE and HE wants us to desire HIM more than things.

HEAVENLY FATHER, I pray that YOU will cause me to "CRY UNTO THEE DAILY" with a desire to be nothing more than what YOU desire me to be.  Help me LORD to trust YOUR perfect wisdom to deliver to me the needs and desires my heart is given by YOU, and that those needs and desires would be made clear as I "CRY UNTO THEE DAILY"!!!
