Many people believe that reading and studying the scriptures is the single most important Christian discipline a believer can have. Although studying and meditating on scripture is of vital importance in the Christian life, still, there is something of even greater importance … daily communion with the Lord in prayer. Consider for a moment, that a man named Enoch had such a close walk with God that the Lord took him from this life on Earth to Heaven without going through the dying process. Enoch had no scriptures to study or to memorize. What he did have was a vital, daily walk with God. Genesis 5:24 tells us Enoch’s unique story: “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” Almost all of the devotionals found in this book were written immediately after the author returned home from his daily, morning walk with God … after spending time in God’s presence. Scripture plays a very important part in the revelation found in these pages, but the connection between the author and His Heavenly Father is the catalyst that makes the scriptures come to life. May the words contained in this devotional be a catalyst that propels you into a more personal and enriching WALK WITH GOD.

My Morning Walks with God is a six month daily devotional that will jump start your morning with inspiring and challenging thoughts for the day ahead. Morning is the start of a brand new day. God was so wise when He divided our lifetime into days. Just think, had He not done so, our life on this planet would be accumulated into one extremely long day. There would be no “yesterday” to put behind us, nor would there be a “tomorrow” to look forward to. Yes, we are blessed to experience something fresh and new each day as we awaken from sleep… Morning! Possibilities and opportunities await us each day, but we must start off on the right foot. How did Jesus start each day? The story of His life is filled with accounts of his early morning prayer routine. Often, He would rise before the first light of day to meet with His Father and commune with Him. This devotional is a tool to help believers model Jesus’ early morning communion with the Father and to fulfill His command to “Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness.” Remember, the word FIRST does not just refer to a priority ranking… it refers also to the time of day. May you be blessed as you seek God in the FIRST part of your day… Morning!
