Morning Worship

There are three disciplines I try to do every day to keep me focused on Christ. I try to do each for at least 20 minutes. The first is read the Bible. The second is get outside. And the third is just relax and spend some alone time with Jesus. This could be in prayer, worship, or just sitting and enjoying His presence.

I seem to many times feel more judgmental of myself or down in the morning. Not always, but enough to recognize it. I know many children, including my nephew Gabe, who don't do well with the newly awake process as well.

Today I read my Bible and then turned on my iPod player to relax and have some worship time with Jesus. Delirious "Rain Down" came on, and I almost changed it, because it seemed too "happy" for me. But then God spoke to me and told me it was supposed to be a happy time.

The Bible says that "God inhabits the praises of His people." If you want to encounter a happy God, enter into happy songs of Jesus! :-D
