Even though I am a morning person, I would be
lying if I said that getting up these past few days after Christmas break was
easy. Haha! Wow! That 4:45 wake up call has not been music to my ears. Christmas break we enjoyed no alarms and had the pleasure of
getting up when our bodies awakened from a nice long sleep. These past few
mornings my body was not thrilled to be awakened from its nice sleep and even
tried to rebel at some points wanting to roll over and forget about work and
school. Even my dog, Louie, looked at me like I was crazy and rolled back over
on the floor to return to his slumber. Lol! Needless to say, my heart won out
because I knew that what awaited me was my morning rendezvous with Jesus! Quiet
time with him before the family arises and even the sun, as a matter of fact!
This morning, through my sleepy eyes, I praise
my Jesus! I am alive and awake and get to spend time with the Creator of the
universe! He pauses for me and spends his undivided attention on ME! If that's
not enough to make you shout, "Hallelujah" then you may want to check
your pulse. At this moment, it's all about our time together. He teaches me
from his Word and I listen intently on all that he is telling me. He wraps his
big fatherly arms around me and gives me comfort for the day. He lets me know
that I will not be alone to go into the this world today because he never
leaves me. He equips me with promises from his Word before I go out the door into
the battlefield. He comforts me with letting me know how much he loves me. He
listens as I share my heart and lift up my husband and children. He promises to
provide my needs and gives me strength for the journey ahead. Precious time!
I don't know what your mornings look like. Maybe
similar to mine, maybe a lot different. But know that your God is waiting to
spend time with you. He will take you right where you're at, sleepy eyes and
all. Let him pause for you and shower you with his presence! You will NEVER
regret it and you will be EMPOWERED because of it!
Encouragement for you from the Psalms today and
I pray your day is filled with blessings!
"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)
"Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring
my requests to you and wait expectantly."
Psalms 5:3 (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)
"If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the
farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will
support me."
Psalms 139:9-10 (NLT)
