“Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your altar and watch for fire to descend.” (Psalm 5:3, The Message)
Love this.
It is a psalm of David and speaks of his commitment to offer up an offering every morning and then watch for God. Since we live in the New Covenant period in which Christ died for sins once for all, we have no need of a daily sacrifice as David thought of it. I think Eugene Peterson strikes the right note here when he recognizes that what we do need to do every morning is lay out the pieces of our lives on a metaphorical altar and allow God to do with it what he will.
