Mornings...

When I was younger, I didn't appreciate the beauty of mornings. But in my adult life, I have grown to love the morning time. At a leadership conference in the 80's, I first heard the teachings about 'morning' people and 'evening' people. When I heard that, I would have definitely labeled myself as a evening person. However, as with most of us, I've changed and I would definitely call myself a 'morning' person. Not that I don't enjoy sleeping in from time to time, but that it has become my 'drive' time - perhaps my most productive time of the day.

The Bible says,

"They that seek Me early will find Me"

I remember enjoying my time in the deer stand during hunting season. It was in the morning, sitting there in the dark and waiting for the sunrise. Hearing the woods wake up and animals scurrying around for their morning food. It helps us to understand the beauty of the Lord. David said, "the heavens declare the Glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork" amen to that.

This year, I'm committing to become more faithful in my personal devotional time. Spending the first minutes of my day unto the Lord, rather than getting in the office and right to work. These times have been great this year and have given my day a better direction and sense of purpose. It's so easy to get distracted away from what is truly important in our lives. That being our personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Have a JESUS-FILLED day!


BLESSINGS!
