I am so glad that you’ve set aside your mornings to be with Me. Once the day is started it’s so easy for your to-do list to swallow you up. You don’t try to go through your day without sleep. You don’t try to live without eating or drinking. I created you this way – that you need to get sleep at night so your body can recharge itself, and you need to eat nourishing food and drink enough water so that your body functions properly. I could have created you so that you just kept going all day every day, nonstop, and that you didn’t need to eat or drink. But I created the whole world this way – night comes for all the world and then all of creation rests. Of course now, in this age with air travel, and the internet, and huge cities that never close down – life goes on continually and people work at all hours. But I have created life to be a continual cycle of rest and activity. Your spirit is the same – you need time with Me to refresh your spirit, to hear from Me and receive My strength for the day. Constantly going without taking time to rest and refill your spirit will bring sickness to your soul. Remember that My mercies are new every morning. Each day comes to you as a blank slate and I want to fill each day with purpose, spiritual strength, and joy in knowing that you are accomplishing My will.
New Mercies in the Morning
