In the morning came the word of the Lord unto me
Ezek. 12:8
A quiet hour spent alone with God at the beginning of the day is the best beginning for the toils and cares of active business. A brief season of prayer, looking above for wisdom and grace and strength, and seeking for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, helps us to carry our religion into the business of the day. It brings joy and peace within the heart. And as we place all our concerns in the care and keeping of the Lord, faithfully striving to do His will, we have a joyful trust that however dark or discouraging events may appear, our Father’s hand is guiding everything, and will give the wisest direction to all our toils.

It is in the early AM hours that I seek the word of the Lord and write these posts. It is in the quiet solitude that we meet. There are no distractions or interruptions, only quiet solitude. Heart and soul are still. Mind and tongue are quiet. The Lord is present.
May thye good Lord bless and keep you safe.
Remember to "Always Love The Details."
So true, Jim - to start the day with the Word and prayer is the way to true success in life, no matter how you define success.
