Daily Devotion- Start Out Joyfully

I know also, my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things. And now I have seen with joy Your people who are present here offer voluntarily and freely to You.


O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the minds of Your people, and direct and establish their hearts toward You.


1 Chronicles 29:17-18



My husband always seems happy. Within five minutes of waking up, Dave is humming, singing, or listening to music as he gets ready for the day. Years ago I did not want music on in the morning. I did not want singing or humming or noise of any kind. I wanted silence so I could think.


Today, I still need a little more quite than Dave does in the morning. But we have both found the way to start our day out right. We set our hearts and our minds to follow God. And it works.
