Morning

Here are some passages that teach about seeking God early in the morning:

1. Psalm 63:1 David in the wilderness

“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.”

This is the classic verse:

  • Early will I seek thee
  • Not obligation — desire and hunger

2. Proverbs 8:17

“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.”

God attaches a promise to early seeking:

  • Seek early → find God

3. Lamentations 3:22–23

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed… They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

Morning is when:

  • Mercy is renewed
  • Yesterday’s failures don’t define today

4. Mark 1:35 Jesus’ example

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”

How do we go wrong if we follow Jesus example?

Jesus:

  • Woke up before sunrise
  • Sought God before people

5. Psalm 5:3

“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.”

6. Isaiah 50:4

“He wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.”

Morning is when:

  • God teaches
  • God speaks

7. Job 1:5 Job as priest for his family

“And Job rose up early in the morning… and offered burnt offerings.”

Job didn’t wait for crisis:

  • He covered his family daily
  • Early intercession

8. Psalm 88:13

“But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.”

“Prevent”  means:

  • Go before
  • Start the day with God first
  • Give God the first and best

We believe in first fruits, and that if we give God the first of our finances, he will bless the other 90%.

What about our day? Is it possible…

“If God gets your first hour, He’ll bless your remaining 23.”

“The devil wants your mornings rushed, distracted, and noisy — because he knows whoever controls your morning often controls your day.”

“Those who seek God early don’t just start the day better — they start the day aligned with eternity.”

  • First light
  • First love
  • First voice you listen to
  • First spirit you yield to

All of Scripture leans toward this principle:

Seek Him first — especially in the morning.
