“In the morning, O LORD, Thou wilt hear my voice;
 In the morning I will order my prayer to Thee and eagerly watch.”  
Psalm 5:3

Another translation says,
“In the morning I will direct it (my voice) to You, and I will look up.”

“Blessed is the day whose morning is sanctified!  Successful is the day whose first victory was won in prayer.”  (Joseph Parker, a theologian)

That time set in the morning is set apart for the Lord.  That time sets our focus on the One who is in control.  As we spend time with Him in quietness, in His word and in prayer our day begins on a sure foundation and in confidence we watch and wait for His leading and guiding.

We are to worship and pray in fellowship with one another, but there is also a call for private devotion and prayer.
Jesus, Himself has set the standard before us in Mark 1:35,
“Now in the morning, having risen long before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.”  

Jesus said His own are not to pray like the hypocrites,
“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut the door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”  Matthew 6:6

We start off our day with prayer and meditation, but it does not end there for to be led and guided by the Holy Spirit we must be in continual communication with Him.  Luke 5:16 speaks of Jesus and tells us,
“So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.”

With the Psalmist we say,
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
 Be acceptable in Your sight,
 O LORD my strength and my redeemer.”  Psalm 19:14

Meditation is devout concentration on the Lord God Almighty and the things of God.  It is characteristic of the spiritually minded.

Romans 8:5-6 says,
“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”  

“The thoughts of the righteous are right,
 But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.”  Proverbs 12:5

In Proverbs 1:33 we see these words of Christ who is wisdom,
“But whoso hearkens to me [Wisdom] shall dwell securely and in confident trust and shall be quiet, without fear or dread of evil.”  The Amplified Bible

“…In quietness and trust is your strength…”  Isaiah 30:15

What a way to start and continue the day: in continual communication with Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent God!
Praise Him and give Him all honor and glory always.  Amen

So we sing:
“In the quiet of the morning
 I will worship Your name
 I will lift my voice with singing
 To praise you again

 For it fills my heart with gladness
 That remains through the day
 In the quiet of the morning
 I will worship Your name”  

And:

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Never have I heard a name ,
That thrills my soul like Thine.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
O what wondrous grace that links,
That lovely name with mine.
