DAY 17 OF 21

WEEK 3: LIVE LIFE PURPOSEFULLY

Day Seventeen

There are dozens of examples throughout Scripture where we see early morning prayer, not least in the life of Jesus. For example, David said in Psalm 63:1, "Early shall I seek thee." (KJV) Rising early may come easier to some than others, but this simple lifestyle choice allows God to speak with you in the stillness of the moment and sets up your day to be blessed and useful to Him.

If rising very early isn’t possible due to certain circumstances in your season of life, that’s understandable. However, we should all make an effort to connect with God at the very start of our day. Read His word. Walk, sing, pray, meditate, create, or go wherever the Spirit leads on any given day. Ask God for the grace to pursue Him early from this day on.

Listen carefully to any instructions that you might hear the Holy Spirit whisper into your heart, and ask God for the courage and boldness to follow it through.

Questions/Prompts For Your Journal:

1. What is my plan for 'rising early' to meet with God?
2. ASK: God, what are you saying to me today?
