I Woke Up This Morning With My Mind Stayed On....

Psalm 5:3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice, in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

I have never been one that would dogmatically say that devotions should be done in the morning. However looking throughout scripture especially in Psalm and in Jesus life there is a definite pattern of seeking God in the morning. I personally dislike mornings, I guess you would say I am not a morning person. I used to use the excuse that I don't spend time with God in the morning because I can't think straight. But the real reason is cuz I want to sleep longer and be lazy. For me spending time with God in the morning is about sacrifice. It is hard for me to get up but I have never regreted getting up and spending time with God first thing in the morning. It is amazing to me how God throughout the day brings back to mind the things to which I read or heard in the morning. Honestly I feel better throughout the day at least mentally and spiritually when I do seek God in the morning. Whether I spend time with Him in the morning or not, I must spend time with Him, our relationship depends on it and that relationship must be first and foremost in my life.

Father as we meet together this morning thank you for the reminder of how important it is that we meet. As we meet help me to grow in my love for you and desire to serve you. Throughout today may I meditate on you and what you have shown me this morning.
