YOUR FIRST DEFAULT IN THE MORNING: ENSURE IS THE THRONE BEFORE THE PHONE!
“And in the MORNING, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” Mark 1:35
“Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 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” Psalms 5:1-3.
When is your morning? How do you define your daily mornings?
Is it that the start of your morning brings about the fulness of God’s HOPE, FAITH and LOVE in His grace?
And when is your morning considered a DAWN DAY?
May I say, when your morning has come — meaning it has dawned — it ensures it begins with God’s graciousness and gracefulness.
This is to ENSURE that you SECURE THE THRONE for the DAWN DAY in order to obtain the needed insight and foresight of grace — meaning it is a morning assured of inspiration, revelation and empowerment for your day.
This is important, before you embark on the PHONE journey and such like demands that eat up your precious moments of divine leadership as you do life and live godly in the grace.
You need to know of a truth, that there is nothing like having HEAVENLY securing, assuring and ensuring of your earthly affairs for the DAWN DAY in God’s BLESSEDNESS, when your morning has come and dawned, as it is written:
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is PASSED into the HEAVENS, Jesus the Son of God, let us HOLD FAST our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the FEELING of our INFIRMITIES; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore COME boldly unto the THRONE of grace, that we may OBTAIN mercy, and FIND grace to HELP in time of NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.
It is imperative to let the HEAVENLY assure, ensure and secure your morning and your day, because that is where you are POSITIONALLY PLACED and your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead is LAID IN STORE for you, against the enemy and cohorts’ access.
And above all, our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is fully SEATED at the right hand of our Father God.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us with every spiritual blessing in the HEAVENLY places in Christ, . . . 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and SEATED Him at His right hand in the HEAVENLY places” Ephesians 1:3, 20/NKJV.
“And RAISED us up together, and MADE us SIT together in the HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6/NKJV.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” Matthew 6:19-21/NKJV.
Beloved in the grace, know ASSUREDLY, that you are the custodian and definition of your DAWN DAY.
Make it count and account for your good and goodness with the THRONE before the PHONE.
That is how to start up your day in an onward and upward trajectory to take on what comes your way as you do life and live godly in the grace of our God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.
Blessed regards.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
