Welcome to Morning Gory: When God Whispers. Why this blog? I have come to believe
mornings in our lives are those fresh, new beginnings we cherish each time we
experience God.
When I was young, I
believed early mornings were special, set-apart times to spend with the Father.
I based this on Psalm 5:3 (NKJV). "My voice You shall hear in the morning,
O Lord; in the morning I will direct it to you and will look up." And, Psalm 63:1(NKJV): “O God You are my God; early
will I seek You.”
Then one day, God turned what I believed on its ear. When young children and
sleepless nights came along, I found it harder to pull myself from bed for
devotion time with God. Why couldn’t I discipline my body to rise early? I
struggled with condemnation.
I was reflecting on these
verses and asking God to forgive me, again, when His gentle perspective hit me
between the eyes. Mornings mean early. Early doesn’t have to mean the dawn of
each day, though it can have this meaning; but, God cares that I seek Him early—before
I need Him—before trouble finds me. He doesn’t care so much about ritual as He
cares about me.
And devotion time with
God—any time of day—can be hours, minutes, seconds, just as long as we
understand, it is not one sided. God wants to be with me as much as He wants me
to come to Him. He wants to speak to me. He wants to be my Bright and Morning Star.
And every time He directs my steps, every time He speaks something new to me, I
am experiencing Him and His answers to life.
This blog will hit many topics. My hope is that it will have take home value for each of us. I look forward to hearing from you. In what areas have you been set free?
Let us enjoy His glory together.
