Morning Coffee

Psalm 5:3 "In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you."   Isaiah 33:2 "O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of distress."

     I love those early morning moments when the house is quiet, before the cares and responsibilities of the day crash in upon the stillness, before the sun fully awakens the earth from its slumber. Ah! Those are the moments I like to take a cup of coffee, my Bible and my journal and meet with God. It is my time of refueling and reflection.  I get instructions for the day. I recognize the BIGNESS of God and I appreciate the fact that He, the Creator of the universe, wants me to spend time with Him!
It is those times that feed my soul and strengthen my spirit. Those moments put everything else into perspective. Some of those moments I will share with you. Others are too precious, too sacred, too intimate.
    Brew your coffee. Grab your Bible and start reading. Journal the thoughts God brings to your heart and mind. Appreciate the quiet.

"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:21-23
