Default All Through This Hour

All Through This Hour by Dennis Fisher

Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day. —Psalm 25:5

The majestic chime of London’s Great Clock of Westminster, commonly known as Big Ben, is familiar to many. In fact, some of us may have clocks in our homes that sound the same hourly chime. It is traditionally thought that the melody was taken from Handel’s Messiah. And the lyrics inscribed in the Big Ben clock room have a time significance:

All through this hour,

Lord, be my guide;

And by Thy power,

No foot shall slide.

These lyrics are a good reminder of our constant need for God’s guidance. King David recognized that he needed guidance all through the day as he faced the challenges of life. In Psalm 25 he says: “Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day” (v.5). Wanting to be a teachable follower of God, David looked to his Redeemer for direction. His heart’s desire was to wait on God with dependent faith throughout the entire day.

May this be our desire as well. Our requests for God’s help often begin the day, but then competing distractions can pull our attention away from Him. Lord, remind us to pray: “All through this hour, Lord, be my guide.”
There’s never a day nor a season
That prayer may not bless every hour,
And never a prayer need be helpless
When linked with God’s infinite power. —Morton

Let Christ be first in your thoughts in the morning, and last in your thoughts at night.

This is what AA teaches, to pray and ask for help in the morning and give thanks at night, even if you don't have as yet, an understanding of God.

You may have been brought up with a God who was everyone else's understanding, but He was a bit of a dark horse to you. I had to go on a spiritual quest and find out who God was to me. I had to make Him personal and build a personal relationship, and my God is as He reveals Himself to me in today. I often say, "He/She/It" because my God has become all things to me, whatever or whoever I need Him to be in today.

All through the day, all through the hour, in the minute of the day, I know He is there. I have no doubt. I walk in trust. It doesn't matter what I call Him, I have even been known to call Him "Big Guy!" and He didn't seem to matter too much.

I have been known to have a few 'wee' words with Him and He didn't mind those either. He listened, but that didn't mean He followed them up with action and gave me what I wanted, but I know He listened, and He gave me what I needed and took the big I AM out of the equation. As I often say, "If I get out of the way, life couldn't get any better.
