I love this question.
I am able to enjoy slower paced mornings, I love this because it allows time to reflect and learn.
Something I am learning to do before I do anything else is stop and pray.
If this is something you don’t know how to do let me direct your attention for a minute to the passage where Jesus the Son of God shares with us “the model prayer” it’s not the only way but it will help you to know how to pray. And seeing how Jesus did everything perfectly it’s good to learn from Him.
After prayer I sit down with the bible I begin looking for the next scripture passage I’ll be studying that day. I’m currently using a system that builds upon foundation of line upon line. For instances I just finished studying the words “Faith/faithfull/faithfulness/faithless” as were referred in my study bible. You can use a Strongs concordance but its very lentghy and would keep you buried in one word for a year or so. I don’t think my attention span can do that. I do ask about what I should study next in my prayer time, and I know the Holy Spirit lead me to begin this new word ” believe” it’s been really good.
After I am done reading and journaling about this I notice how the rest of the day that study or something I prayed about shows up throughout the day, it’s really quite special.
I love my time in His word because like today I was on the passage John 3:12 it kinda explains itself..but I wanted more, so I opened up my search and was in Matt 11:27 you can see how the two built upon one another and as I was sitting there..wanting more. I felt lead to the words from Proverbs 9:1-12
You see even in my study I was affirmed that unless I have respect and reverance for the Lord I will lack wisdom. This is not just a “ritual” it’s a way of life.
And according to His Word which I believe – I will have many days and even years added to my life. So it’s the best thing anyone can do to start their day.
Friends back in the book of Matthew 7 right after the model prayer was given..there is a passage about “Keep asking, seeking and knocking..” if you are not already doing this daily I encourage you to do so because there is nothing this life offers that is worth missing time with the Savior Jesus Christ.
You need Him and He wants to meet you.
In Christ love, amen
