September 19 – Morning by Morning I will Awaken You!
Isaiah 50:4:The Sovereign LORD has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.
The other morning, I was awake and had the privilege to see the most awesome golden dawn with the sun sparkling up the river close to our flat. A feeling of peace and tranquility filled me. I am not good at taking pictures and have quite a defective mobile, but was able to take a few shots!
Why are mornings the best time to hear God?
Our brain, body, soul, spirit is renewed by sleep, refreshed, unless of course one suffers from sleep apnea, waking up feeling more miserable! But the morning is generally when our spirits are more receptive, refreshed and open.
God met Adam and Eve at dawn. Genesis 3:8 says, “And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. Of course, we meet with God throughout the day, but the dawn times are filled with heavenly dew and manna to deeper and fresher degrees.
God wants our first fruit. So our first Times in the morning are like our first fruit! Exodus 23:19 – You shall bring the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of the LORD your God. Without meaning to be legalistic and understanding that not everyone has a morning schedule and God knows and understands that. However as far as possible, giving those fresh morning hours to Him revives us in ways we cannot imagine throughout the day. Fresh thoughts pour in, insights, guidance, and wisdom.
Years back, I remember a young Christian lady who had a lot of anger issues. Then she started going for early morning walks in the pink dawn, walking and praying..I found her very peaceful and happy throughout the day and was fascinated to learn this mighty renewal came from her early morning times with God.
Mornings times with God have proven to be invigorating, reviving, and life changing for me! Though I work in the night…I still feel awesome when I worship God in the Dawn!
