You can start your day without God, but you will never really get started.

King David was a morning person. He loved to get up early and meet the Lord in prayer and meditation. As a king, David’s day was full of appointments, decrees, and official duties. David knew that if he was going to carve out time for God, it had to be in the morning before everyone else grabbed for his time.

You may not be the king of a country, but you are probably the king of the house, king of the hill, or the king of your office. You have appointments to keep, decrees to declare, and duties to perform. You calendar is no less busy than a full-time monarch. So you have to ask yourself, If David thought it was a good idea to meet God in the morning, why don’t I? It’s not that God isn’t available later in the day. He always has time for you. You’re the one who gets too busy for God.

Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3
