Pre-Soak
2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. Psalm 111:2-9 (KJV)
The Morning Exhortation
Growing up takes time. No one gets to the top of the mountain without going through a few valleys. Muscles get stronger by training them with resistance. Flavor is enhanced in the marinate. The better the pre-wash soak, the cleaner the clothes. A love of ease is the enemy of a mature soul. A love of pain is the fool’s delight. Wisdom is found in the balance. Don’t rush the process. Don’t linger in the valleys. Get plenty of good reps. Be salt and light. Soak for as long as God requires. To know God, is to trust God. To trust God, is to have a weened soul that glorifies God equally come rain or shine. (Isaiah 12:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5; Hebrews 12:1-13; 1 Peter 1:3-23; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Philippians 4:11-13; Isaiah 26:4; Proverbs 3:5-8; Proverbs 16:3; Psalm 131; Philemon 1:25)
