Morning Quiet Time

I love the early morning. Sometimes I simply wake up and my mind goes in motion about things I need to work on or prepare for. I don’t like to start my day until I hear from the Lord and spend some time listening to Him speak to me. I’m not sure when I started doing this, but now it seems really strange if I’m out of town or out of pocket and can’t start my day listening to His Word. This morning I came across a passage in Isaiah that really affirmed my morning commitment. Check this out…

I really try hard to listen to the Lord on everything and worry about nothing. That is easier said than done. When I catch myself worrying, I can usually recall a verse or passage that reassures me that He will lead me through the darkest night or the most confusing situation. He gives me wisdom and discernment that I can’t explain. He puts ideas in my head that are brilliant. He gives me compassion and keeps my heart shapeable. I respect the Lord from the depths of who I am and who He made me to be. I want the sum total of all I am to bring as much honor to Him as I can possibly muster up.

He loves it when I spend time with Him.

He loves it when I let Him lead my life.

He loves it when I love like Him.

He loves it when all of me points to Him.

He loves it when I’m quiet and I listen to Him.

He loves it when I’m teachable.

He loves it when I have the courage to walk in the way He’s leading.

His mercies are new each morning. He speaks into my heart each morning – sometimes simply and sometimes quite profoundly. I love hearing Him speak. I find rest and peace as I hang out with Him.
