“Morning by Morning, He Wakens” 8-20-10

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Majestic and mighty, merciful and magnificent, I worship and adore You morning by morning. … “The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning, He wakens—wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught” (Isaiah 50:4). In morning’s light, awaken my spirit to arise and shine. Arouse my heart to stir in the Spirit, to listen for Your voice, to speak the words I hear You say, to share the lessons You teach in my mind. Draw me into the deep place of communion with You, as my heart becomes more like Your heart and my thoughts become more like Your thoughts. It’s takes time, but it’s worth it. It takes surrender, commitment, and focus, but You’re ready to provide all that I need, as You develop the daily rhythm of watching and waiting in the silence of surrender in me. You want this for me more than I want it for me. You want it for each of us, who are created for communion with You, our Lord and our God. It’s a deeply intimate means of Your grace to make us more like You each day, for “anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17). Make me one spirit with You, Lord Jesus. Morning by morning and moment by moment, teach me Your ways and impart to me Your words. Then give opportunities to freely give away all that I have received. For Your Word sustains the weary and Your Spirit awakens the hearts of Your children to arise and become all You’ve created us to be. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
