GOOD MORNING!

Morning is the start of a brand new day. God was so wise when He divided our lifetime into days. Just think, had He not done so, our life on this planet would be accumulated into one extremely long day. There would be no “yesterday” to put behind us, nor would there be a “tomorrow” to look forward to. Yes, we are blessed to experience something fresh and new each day as we awaken from sleep… Morning!

Possibilities and opportunities await us each day, but we must start off on the right foot. How did Jesus start each day? The story of His life is filled with accounts of his early morning prayer routine. Often, He would rise before the first light of day to meet with His Father and commune with Him. This devotional is a tool to help believers model Jesus’ early morning communion with the Father and to fulfill His command to “Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness.” Remember, the word FIRST does not just refer to a priority ranking… it refers also to the time of day. May you be blessed as you seek God in the FIRST part of your day… Morning!

PUSH THROUGH THE CROWD!

I was reading three different stories from the Gospels one night before going to bed. In each story I noticed a connecting thought … there was someone trying to get to Jesus but couldn’t because other people were in the way. The three stories were: The woman with the...

DAMAGED BUT USEFUL

I was reaching for the bar of soap one morning and noticed that there was a big gash on one of its corners. It looked like someone dropped the soap on the floor. The huge gash in its side gave testimony to the trauma it had been through. But, I didn't throw the bar...

AM I NARROW-MINDED?

Some think that I’m narrow-minded, but that’s simply not true. I don’t have a narrow mind … I just have a narrow road that I’m walking on. I see others walking down the road next to mine. There are large crowds going down that road, but it’s going in the opposite...
