The Morning Watch

Promise:
Be ready in the morning, and come up...present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. And no man shall come up with thee. (Exodus 34:2,3)

Prayer:
Lord, I love our morning watch together. For years now I have risen early and spent time with You, making this my first transaction of the day. I know I can not expect to be victorious unless I have had a few quiet moments with just You and me. I only wish I had done this all of my life. But even though I came to You late, You looked beyond my faults, accepted me as I am, and our time together is sweet and precious.

"Begin the day with God!
He is thy Sun and Day!
His is the radiance of thy dawn;
To Him address thy day."
(words by Horatius Bonar)

Good Morning, Lord! Amen
