How are you starting your day? Are you starting it by scrolling on your phone, or do you start it with quiet time with coffee, or do you start it out on the porch?
I admit, a lot of times as soon as my eyes open I reach for my phone, but I have gotten better at disciplining myself to put it down and immediately thank God for waking me up today. I start with a small prayer before I move out of my bed and to my chair.
I go to make my little coffee and then I sit down with all of these books. Yes I even have the hero action Bible because I am a visionary and I like to see an illustration. But that’s besides the point.
As much as I would like to say this has been my routine for 20 years I’d be lying and I’m not trying to do that lol. But for a little over 2 years this has been my morning routine and it has really shifted my relationship with God.
Yes I used to read my Bible but it would be random throughout the day or I’d miss a day, or I really didn’t know where to read next. But 2 years ago the Lord promoted me to really start meeting with Him.
Joyce Meyer says “you wouldn’t miss an appointment with your doctor, so why would you miss an appointment with God?”. So I’ve made my mornings my appointments with Him, even if I have to start the day a little earlier (and we all know I’m not a morning person 🤪)
I really want to encourage you to start your day with a little bit of quiet time with the Lord. If you don’t know where to start, ask Him. Even if you just put some worship music on for 10 min, start the day with God and see how your mindset and your day to day shifts.
