Spend Time With Him In The Morning…His Grace Is With You All Day…

Spending time with the Lord, talking with Him, worshiping Him, and learning from Him, is essential and fulfilling for our heart and soul.  It must be the top priority in our life.
Psalm 119:26-27–I told you my plans, and you answered. Now teach me your decrees. Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.

Time spent with Him in the early morning hours; gives Him the time necessary to renew and refresh our heart and soul; getting them ready for the trials of the day ahead.  During that time, He gives us His grace that translates into peace, strength, and wisdom; to be used all day long.  Only He can give you that grace.
2 Chronicles 16:9–The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 

That is why we struggle if we just launch ourselves into the day without our morning consultation with Him.

This ration of grace allows us to carry Him with us all day long; keeping Him close to us, letting His Holy Spirit guide us and protect us through-out the day.

The amount of time we focus our heart and mind on the Lord; relates directly to the amount of peace, strength, and wisdom He gives to us; through His constant and ever growing Presence in our lives.

He cherishes the fact that  we give Him the sacrifice of our precious time  during each day.
Hebrews 13:15–Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. 

He rewards that sacrifice of time with an equal amount of His grace.
Ephesians 6:24–May God’s grace be eternally upon all who love our Lord Jesus Christ.

My Prayer For This Day:
Lord, thank you for always being available for me to spend time with You. Our time together, whether in the early morning, or in small prayers during the day, always helps me stay strong in the face of trials, and full of peace in time of crisis. Thank you Lord, for being a sanctuary for me wherever I am, and for reminding me that you always act in your own perfect timing.  Thank you, Lord, for making all things work to the long range good; according to your purpose for me.
