Success as a Christian will greatly depend on how much time you spend cultivating your relationship with God. There’s no way around this my friend. And, if we take our cues from our Teacher, Jesus Christ, we see a pattern of Him rising before daybreak to pray:
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
-Mark 1:35:
Have you seen the movie War Room? It’s as if Jesus was going to His War Room before He began tackling His to-do list… the long stream of people needing and desiring healing from Him. This was a key to the spiritual power He was able to harness on earth.
There’s a verse in John 14:12, where Jesus says that we will do greater things. But how can we do greater if we don’t even do what was basic for Jesus?
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. -John 14:12
One of the things that we’ve been intentional about in the design of our daily planners is putting a devotional section at the top of each page. We want these check off circles to serve as a daily reminder to live the way Jesus did. To command your morning. To start your day with what matters most: spending time in Prayer, Reading your Bible, and Worship.
We will have a new collection of undated planners in our shop next month, so look out for them! And in the meantime, command your mornings! Tell your day who’s boss.
