In the Morning

Sep 01, 2024

“Didn’t you sleep good last night?” my husband asked twice in a week as he greeted me while I sat in my favorite, quite place.

“Yes. I slept just fine. I’ve just been up for a while.” Was my response as I looked up from my Bible reading and sipped on my second cup of coffee.

I’m not sure why he’s asked this question because he knows he’ll find me in this place each morning just as he has for years.

Rising early to start my day has been a discipline I’ve stayed committed to because of the results it’s given me in my day.

The result of rising early is:

  • Anchors your day and gives stability to stay steady in the complicated world.
  • Stay positive all day, well on most days.
  • Gain energy when concentrating on being positive.
  • Clarity and clear focus are given to you when you give God your time.

Bible verses to back up the reason we are to rise early in the morning and come and meet with God are:

  •  Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning, I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. Psalms 5:3 NLT
  •  I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words. Psalms 119:147 NLT
  •  Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. Psalms 143:8 NLT
  • Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. Mark 1:35 NLT
  • Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. Psalms 90:14 NLT

Take time to sit and read these scriptures and journal what kind of results come from it.
