Early Will I Seek Thee

I used to be a morning person. I loved being awake before the sun rose, sitting on the back porch and watching the sun come up over the trees, sipping my coffee.
Now, even though my eyes are open, and I can semi-function, I am not really awake until 10 A.M. And then I eat. I try not to make any important decisions before I am fully awake, either. Regrets are for the impatient. Patience is waiting until the perfect time arrives to do the right thing, regardless of what I am contemplating doing.

But, did you know that God is a morning God? He created the mornings, when He created the daytime and the night time - Genesis 1:1-5 1. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5. And God called the light Day and the darkness he called Night And the evening and the morning were the first day."

The psalmist reminds us in Psalm 63:1 that seeking God early is beneficial to the body and the soul - "O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh longs for Thee, In a dry and thirsty land, where no water is."

Knowing this, I must begin to embrace the morning again. That God might be glorified in my life, through my words and my actions. Knowing this, I must trust that Father knows best for me. Knowing this, I must surrender daily to His perfect will for my life. For I am one of them. One of them who is called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28), not my own purpose nor my own will/wants.

Knowing this, I must seek Jesus while He may be found. For some day, The Holy Spirit will take the Bride of Christ, His Church, out of this concept of time: Day and Night, and bring her to His side. You think the world is changing now? Just wait.

Or don't wait. Let Jesus into your hearts, and ask The Holy Spirit to start changing you now. Before it's too late.
