GRATITUDE
God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. Genesis 1:5
The Blessings of Morning
God promised the children of Israel they would see the glory of the Lord in the morning (Exodus 16:7). This promise came to them when they were hungry and in need of bread to ear. God supplied manna every norming until they reached the Promised Land. Like the children of Israel, we too can see the glory of the Lord when we seek Him in His Word. Each morning He provied the nourishment we need for the day.
Another belssing of mourning time is that it often brings an end to suffering and sadness (Psalm 30:5) by bringing us a new opportunity to seek God for a fresh perspective on the problems and needs in our lives. When we give every minute and every circumstance of each day to the Lord, we can expect to see His light dawning throughout our day.
There are many examples in Scripture about people who rose early to meet god or to be about doing God's will; among them were Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Job, and even Jesus. The Gospels tell us that Jesus went at dawn to teach the people who gathered in the temple courts.
The most glorious event of Christianity - the Resurrection - occurred in the early morning. Each morning we can celebrate Jesus' Resurrection as we watch the light of the day dispel the darkness of the night.
Make it the first morning business of your life
to understand some part of the Bible clearly,
and make it your daily business to obey
it in all that your do understand |
