Get In God's Presence Early! Psalms 5:1-12;James 3:5-8 David may have written it during the crisis caused by Absalom, but we have no indication that he did. However, the description of David's enemies given in verses 4-6 and 9-10 suggests the period prior to David's flight from Jerusalem. "In the morning" is repeated in verse 3 for emphasis. It stresses that his first thoughts each day were prayer. In this prayer of David, the Holy Spirit, the great Inspirer of Scripture, shows us what to do when we are lied about and slandered. It stands as a timeless pattern for us to follow as long as we live in a wicked, sin-cursed world. This is, How to Deal with Lies and Slander."The first hour of your day sets the tone for the entire day. How you spend that hour determines — more than anything else — how your day will end." It means getting up a little earlier than you have to. It means filling your mind first thing with his word, and filling your heart with praise. It means offering your entire day to him — giving him control of each event, allowing him to direct you each step of the way. This habit gets you moving in the right direction, and keeps you moving forward no matter what the day may bring.
