I try to read a devotional book along with my Bible every morning to get my spiritual heart moving. It has the same effect my cup of coffee has on my physical heart. I just need it. When I don't get it I miss it terribly.
I have been reading Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening lately. I think I have had this book for 15 years and I have read it along with my Bible off and on consistently that long. But it seems fresh every time I read it. It's like it is the very first time I've read it. The Bible is a living Word and it does that to me too! I have read it over and over again all my life yet sometimes I will read a scripture and it speaks as though it is the very first time I have ever seen it, knowing full well that I had read that time and time again. I love that!
I have a prayer that I try to pray every morning that is like my dedication to the day and to the Lord. Is this your Daily Prayer too? I encourage you to write it on a note card and place it where you will be reminded to read it every morning:
"Lord, help me to glorify you. I have talents; help me to extol You by using them for You. I have time; Lord, help me to redeem it, that I may serve You. I have a head to think; Lord, help me to think of You. You have put me in this world for something, Lord, show me what that is and help me to work out my life-purpose. I cannot do much; but as the widow put in her two mites, which were all her living, I cast my time and eternity, too, into your treasury. I am all Yours. Take me and enable me to glorify You today, in all that I say, in all that I do, and with all that I have." AMEN!
"To HIM be glory both now and forever" 2 Peter3:18
I hope you have an inspired day!
