It has been my practice to read a Psalm to Gabriel every morning. Because of  the multifaceted distraction in my lap, I don’t always focus on the Word as effectively during this time, but rather reread the Psalm to myself after our little Bible and Catechism instruction time. This morning was an exception. Despite the wriggling 13 month old,  the words of verse 8 immediately convicted me;

So that those who dwell at the ends of  the earth are in awe at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

Devotional living, that is, noticing the attributes of God as I go through my day, is recently intruding upon my awareness.  I want to study God everywhere I am, only partly so that I can point Gabriel to God at every opportunity.

Often the morning sunrise and the evening sunset gives us pause. We reflect upon how pretty it is, show Gabriel that the sky is pink.  This morning I realized that I never think that the sky is a sign of His glory, shouting for joy to the Lord. Now I will. I am thankful that God is faithful to show us ways that draw our minds back to Him at times during the day.  May the Lord continue to draw us near to Him through His Word!
