Meet Him in the Morning!

"So be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there on the top of the mountain. And no man shall come up with you, and let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; let neither flocks nor herds feed before that mountain." Exodus 34:2-3.

The morning watch is essential.
You must not face the day until you have faced God!
Nor look into the face of others until you have looked into His!!

You cannot expect to be victorious if the day begins only in your own strength.

Face the work of every day with the influence of quiet moments with your heart and God.

Do not meet other people even those of your own home, until you have first met the great Guest and honoured Companion of your life.

Meet Him alone!
Meet Him regularly.
Meet Him with His open Book of counsel before you.

And face the regular and the irregular duties of each day with the influence of His personality definitely controlling your every act.

Meet Him in the Morning!

Psalm 59
¹⁵ They wander about for food
    and howl if not satisfied.
¹⁶ But I will sing of your strength,
    in the morning I will sing of your love;
    for you are my fortress,
    my refuge in times of trouble.

Psalm 88
¹³ But I cry to you for help, O LORD;
    in the morning my prayer comes before you.

Psalm 143
⁶ I spread out my hands to you;
    my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.
    Selah
⁷ Answer me quickly, O LORD;
    my spirit fails.
    Do not hide your face from me
    or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
⁸ Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
    for I have put my trust in you.
    Show me the way I should go,
    for to you I lift up my soul.
