In the Morning

Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14

I have been learning lately about how important it is to seek God in the morning. I am often very bad at this because of my desire to sleep as long as possible in the morning. The verse above and several other verses have reminded me that starting off my morning by seeking the Lord's presence is the best way to begin the day. The more that I do this, the more God reveals himself to me. All of this is not to say that God does not show himself to us other times of the day, but that there is just something special about the morning. There is something about the sunrise that reminds me of forgiveness. No matter what I did the day before, the morning always brings a chance to start over and a chance to make things right.
