Cultivating A Morning With Jesus
Establishing a routine with the Lord is something that I practice regularly. I am not your typical schedule woman, but routines suit my lifestyle on most days.
There is power in waking early with the Lord. This was a regular routine of David's life.
“O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You”
(Psalm 63:1a, NKJV)
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. (Psalm 90:14)
But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. (Psalm 59:16)
A morning routine establishes and sets up my day with a clear focus on Him regardless of the day.
There are many tips for a successful morning. But I want to specifically talk about spiritual habits that build our relationship with the Lord.
I did a podcast last year for a four-day mind renewal intensive which you can find below. But there were some great tips that you can apply in a seven-day mind renewal plan or upgrade your intimacy and delight in the Lord.
