To Praise and Serve as the Duty of the Day..

the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required,—2 Chronicles 8:14

To praise and serve as the duty of each day required...

Father...Remind me to take the time each day to praise You.  Forgive me for taking Your steadfast love toward me for granted.  The earth, O LORD, is full of Your mercy!  I looked around me this morning at all Your blessings that were just in the reach of my arms, and I was overwhelmed with Your goodness!...All because I did my “duty” and purposed to praise You.  1 John 5:3 says, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments.  And His commandments are not burdensome.” Your commandments are good and are for our good!  Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.  By Your precious Spirit, I will serve You with all of my heart to the praise of Your glory.

You have commanded us
To keep Your precepts diligently.
Oh, that my ways were directed
To keep Your statutes!
Then I would not be ashamed,
When I look into all Your commandments.
I will praise You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.
I will keep Your statutes;
Oh, do not forsake me utterly!—Ps 119:4-8

Blessed are You, O LORD!
Teach me Your statutes.—Ps 119:12

May Your statutes be my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. ❤️
