A Beautiful Morning

This morning as I was reading my Bible I just couldn't help wanting to sing out with thanksgiving to the Lord as joy had filled my heart. 

I am reading through Isaiah and this morning I came to chapter 42. I underline and mark verses in my Bible and most of the verses are underlined or circled  because these verses mean a lot to me and I don't want to forget them.

The chapter title that I have in my Bible (English Standard Version) reads as follows: The LORD"s Chosen Servant. As I got to verse 5-9 I realized these verses were showing me who God is.

Isaiah 42:5-8
Thus says God, The LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it: I am the LORD; that is my name: my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols. 

Isaiah 42:9
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them. 

The chapter title I have for verses 10-13 is as follows: Sing to the LORD a New Song. When I got to these verses it showed me how I can praise the Lord. 

Isaiah 42:10-12
Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants.  Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the habitats of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the coastlands.  

Isaiah 42:13
The LORD goes out like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his zeal; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes. 

Questions
Do you agree with me that what better way to start a day is by reading verses like these? Do they excite you? I trust your day is made better by reading God's word.
