Joy in the Morning.

I'm listening to a Nicole Nordeman song called "Everyday" (Well, not really sure if that's the title, but that's the title I'm gonna give it). In it, she talks about how the Lord's mercies are new every morning. 

I need to remember this. 

The Lord was kind to give me the verse Psalm 143:8 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

Sovereign Grace (click on the link and it'll take you to the song I'm about to tell you about) 

has a song called Joy in the Morning and it seems to be the song that is in my head when I wake up. It's just a great reminder that it's a new day and things might have changed the night before and they still might change during your day, but the reason for your day is because of Christ so he is the reason for your joy. It's a great way to remember about your dependence on him when you wake up. Jesus Christ! He's the reason we have life! He's the reason that I am forgiven and declared innocent before a Holy God. That's a good reason to have joy in the morning.
