At the Start of the Day ...

Yesterday God reminded me of a verse from a Psalm, which reads:
I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

The Lord is always before us, yet it is good, for me at any rate, to "set" him before me in prayer each day. In other words, to acknowledge his presence with me for the day. And to remember that as he is with me each and every day, I need not be 'shaken' by whatever comes along.

The Psalm continues (Psalm 16:9-11):

9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
11 You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
