• “But the misfortune is that people wish to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him. We wish to take the lead, and to follow in a way of their own selection instead of submissively and passively following where God sees fit to conduct them. And hence it is, that many souls who are called to the enjoyment of God himself and mot merely to the gifts of God, spend all their lives in pursuing and in feeding on little consolations.” – Madame Guyon

In the Morning by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 09/28/11

“I used to wake up every day for devotions—until life gotso busy!”

“I haven’t gotten up early to read the Bible in years.”

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: It can be hard for busy moms to make time for the Lord first thing in the day. But the more I study the Word of God, the more convinced I am that we need to spend the first part of every day with Him.

“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee” (Psalm 5:3).

“I cry to you for help, O LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you” (Psalm 88:13).

“Awake, my soul! Awake harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn” (Psalm 57:8).

“I rise before dawn and cry for help” (Psalm 119:147).

Nancy: God is offering you an invitation. Would you ask Him to waken you tomorrow morning when He wants to meet with you?

“He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught” (Isaiah 50:4).

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
