A Perfect Way to Start Your Day

Are You Beginning Your Day in His Presence?

I was so impressed with the following devotional by Adrian Rogers that I wanted to pass it on to you our readers. The message is clear and straightforward. However, I feel that is a reminder that we all need as believers, and one that grows more dear to me the longer I know our Savior.

“My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,

O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee,

and will look up.”

Psalm 5:3

Most Christians fail in their Christian life for one simple reason: They fail to have a quiet time. They fail to start the day with Jesus.

It is so simple. They say, “Why am I failing? Why don’t I have the victory? Why don’t I understand?” And I want to respond, “Why don’t you get quiet before God at the beginning of your day and saturate your soul with His presence and bathe your heart with His Word?”

Someone once wrote, “Every morning lean thine arms a while upon the windowsill of heaven and gaze upon thy Lord. And then with the vision in thy heart, turn strong to meet the day.

 I Come To The Garden Alone Hymn

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
