GOD’S MORNING MESSAGE
Rising up early in the morning, Ezekiel received a message from the Lord. No internet, no morning news, no ESPN updates, no emails, no personal plans, just the Word. God’s Word came to him and there was no room for anything else. His day was decided because he heard a message from the Lord.
Men and women of God throughout the centuries have had this same morning habit of seeking a word from the Lord to begin their day. Even the Son of God, the Lord Jesus, sought time with His Father to begin His day. The gospel of Mark described how Jesus spent His mornings, saying, “Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray” (Mark 1:35).
How do you begin your day? Do you check the inbox from heaven to read God’s morning message? Do you get alone with God to pray?
PRAYER: Dear Father, we come before You today listening to hear a word from You. We pray that Your Word would come to us afresh. Abide in us today by Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.
