When we rise in the morning, we are quickly reminded of our fundamental needs. We face hunger. We experience thirst. Our body noisily reminds us of our deficiencies.
But our foremost need is spiritual. We desperately require God in our life. Without Him, we cannot function. We certainly cannot thrive.
In the morning, we must quickly remedy our need for fellowship with God. We must seek Him early in the day. Some people argue that they are not “morning people.” They prefer to meet with God later at night, when they have more time and energy. That may all be well. But there is something desperate within our soul that requires a meeting with God as soon as possible. Too much of our day can race by us if we do not make meeting with God in the morning a priority.
We may get through the day, but we will do so without the soul-satisfaction that comes from having met with our God. Your soul may be far thirstier than you realize. Make haste to be filled up with the presence of God.
