Beginning Each Morning in the Word
I want to wake up and get active — no distractions. Why stay in bed when I have things to do?
Since Father’s Day 2019
It’s become more than simply a daily discipline at this point. Reading the Bible every morning is now more of a centering and grounding activity.
Some mornings I wake up and I am excited to read my Bible and grow closer to my heavenly Father.
Other mornings I wake up and I just want to get my day started. I don’t want to spend 10–25 minutes in the Word. But I still do. I intentionally begin that time with a prayer that my eyes can be opened, ears can listen, and heart can be softened. I ask God that I can hear Him speaking through His Word.
When I started I began by reading through Joshua.
That was great. I enjoyed the journey of Joshua and understanding at a greater level all the things that God did through him during his life.
