Do You Give God The First Fruits Of Your Day ?

7. Jesus gained reassurance, acceptance, and sense of belonging to from the Father through morning devotions. When we devote ourselves to the Lord and His Word every morning, He restores our soul. He makes us walk in the path of righteousness through sweet whispers of His Spirit in our ears.

8. Jesus also prayed for others in His early morning devotions. We should learn to not only look at our own interest, but also to the interest of others when we intercede for their needs. You can develop a prayer book where you record prayer requests that you can systematically pray over.

9. Jesus prayed that people would be filled with the knowledge of God’s will with all spiritual wisdom and understanding. He trusted God to give others enlightened eyes so that they could appreciate the hope, riches, and power supplied through a born again relationship found through saving faith in Jesus Christ. We should also pray for others to have the wisdom to find greater riches in Christ.

10. Jesus praised God for all of His attributes during His morning devotions. Make a list of all the attributes of God that you can think of like: omnipotence, wisdom, love, peace, and sovereignty. Praise God for His attributes during your communion with Him.

Conclusion: David wrote, “Let me hear your loving kindness in the morning for I trust in You. Make me to know the paths in which I should walk, for to You lift up my soul” (Psalm 143:8). If morning devotions were important to Jesus and David, they should also be important to us, if not more vital to our spiritual sustenance.
