early morning

Wednesday, October 12, 2016 (8:32 a.m.)

Holy God,

Thank You. Thank You for an early start to our day. Gone to an appointment and back before eight in the morning is hardly our norm. Thank You Father.

Thank You for a definite change in our plans. Let us use these extra hours wisely and well.

(9:46 a.m.)

We have the opportunity to work differently today than we had originally planned. In looking to Your Word concerning early mornings, reading Psalm 127:2 led me back to verse one.

(11:19 a.m.)

Another change in plans. A completely unexpected visit from a long time friend and her two year old granddaughter. Thank You Father. Thank You for age appropriate toys to break the ice of a very first meeting.

Which again brings me back to thanking You for the reminder found in Psalm 127:1a. “If the LORD does not build the house, the work of the builders is useless;” (Good News Translation). You, dear Lord, have been the Master Builder of our household and we are eternally grateful!

So many of our years together were wasted by each of us attempting to build our relationship as we thought best. Thank You for guiding us as You know is essential. We must know and follow You! Thank You Father.

As our early morning is quickly inching itself toward noontime, again I ask You to lead us in using this day well. Thank You Father. We love You. Amen.
