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!

PUNISHED BY GOD?

FORWARD AND UPWARD

On my walk one morning, I was thinking about the scripture where Jesus said he'd separate the sheep from the goats. Out of curiosity, I looked up the word “sheep” and discovered that it comes from the Greek word PROBAINO, which means “walks forward.” I thought that...
