Morning
There are many exhortations in the Bible that would encourage us to seek the Lord and spend time in His presence in the morning. In other words, start the day off right before the necessities of daily routine take our time and crowd our mind. Here are examples of three persons who practically carried this out in their day-to-day lives:
Solomon said: “In the morning sow thy seed” (Ecclesiastes 11:6). “The seed is the Word of God” (Luke 8:11), and we certainly need it at the beginning of each day.
David said: “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up” (Psalm 5:3). Prayer is our powerhouse to meet every situation we will face today.
David also declared: “I will sing of Thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning” (Psalm 59:16). It is good to begin each day with a note of praise and the joy of the Lord.
Of course, the perfect example is the Lord Jesus Himself: “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” (Mark 1:35).
