Every morning he wakes me. He teaches me to listen
like a student. The Lord God helps me learn . . . .
Isaiah 50:4-5 NCV
Each new day is a gift from God, and if you are wise, you will spend a few quiet moments each morning thanking the Giver.
Warren Wiersbe writes, “Surrender your mind to the Lord at the beginning of each day.” And that’s sound advice. When you begin each day with your head bowed and your heart lifted, you are reminded of God’s love, His protection, and His commandments. Then, you can align your priorities for the coming day with the teachings and commandments that God has placed upon your heart.
So, if you’ve acquired the unfortunate habit of trying to “squeeze” God into the corners of your life, it’s time to reshuffle the items on your to-do list by placing God first. And if you haven’t already done so, form the habit of spending quality time with your Father in heaven. He deserves it . . . and so do you.
Every morning I spend fifteen minutes filling my mind full of God; and so there’s no room left for worry. - Howard Chandler Christy. 100 Days of Prayer
I suggest you discipline yourself to spend time daily in a systematic reading of God’s Word. Make this “quiet time” a priority that nobody can change. - Warren Wiersbe
Knowing God involves an intimate, personal relationship that is developed over time through prayer and getting answers to prayer, through Bible study and applying its teaching to our lives, through obedience and experiencing the power of God, through moment-by-moment submission to Him that results in a moment-by-moment filling of the Holy Spirit. - Anne Graham Lotz
If thou may not continually gather thyself together, do it some time at least, once a day, morning or evening. - Thomas รก Kempis
Today’s Prayer
Lord, help me to hear Your direction for my life in the quiet moments of each day. Let everything that I say and do be in Your perfect will. Amen
