I have been up most of the night for many reasons. The pup made sure I didn’t get any early morning sleep too. As I lay there wide away, then the alarm started going off. I know right….toss it across the room? The thought did cross my mind I will admit for the dog had gotten to my nerves before 5am. But I took a deep breath and begin watching my favorite morning show that scrolls scripture and shows Gods glory. Psalms 5:3 came across the screen shortly…..wow….thank you God. I got up and spent some time there, and all around researching mornings, and daybreak, and expectations. Great word studies in the bible. Please hear my heart below. This simple sacrifice that you can make for God every day, will change your life for eternity. It did mine. If I can tell any believer one thing to do, it is to spend time with God every day. You cannot do that and remain the same as you were before. God will begin a work in you that you cannot begin yourself. Thank you Jesus!!!!
The Meeting
Psalms 5:3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
If there is one thing I can spur you to do with these writings, is to spend daily time with God. If you will do that ONE thing, God will take care of all the rest. I have been asked many times, “why do you get up so early every day?” The answer is found in Psalms 62:5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. It really is that simple. I expect God to show up for our scheduled meeting time every day, just like He expects me to be there. How could I not arise, how could I hit the snooze one more time, and miss that opportunity? What if today was the day I received a word from Him that was an answer to prayer, or that changed my life for eternity. Is it honoring God by placing more value on sleep?
There is no right or wrong time to approach God. I do believe there is a truth to the habit of the same time for your alone time with Him. The dedication of forming that habit shows the honor you desire to spend time with Him. Christ was pulled by all people, all the time. We would have called him today a workaholic. He poured Himself into the work His Father laid out for Him with 100% dedication. But even after pulling an a late night (probably all night) of healing in Mark 1, He disappeared to a solitary place to pray and have alone time with God. Mark 1:35 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. Set a time, keep that time, and know that you will meet God there.
