Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 9 December 2022
TOPIC: Morning Encounters With The Lord
There is something very unique, refreshing and empowering about rising up in the morning to present yourself before the Lord. God instructed Moses to “Be ready in the morning….” (v.2). “So Moses…went up Mount Sinai early in the morning…” (v.4). In verse 5, “Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed His name, the Lord.” The morning time is the best time to give to the Lord.
A day that would be productive and fruitful must first be ordered from the morning in the presence of the Lord. Moses, the prophets and Jesus all knew the significance of rising up in the morning to present themselves to the Lord: “I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for your word” (Psalm 119:147); “In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there” (Mark 1:35).

Rising in the morning to present yourself to the Lord signifies respect and reverence for the Lord as you offer Him the best part of your day in worship, study and prayer. That way you’ll encounter God’s power and presence. It is still the best way you can receive your bearing and blessings from the Lord each day.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to cultivate the culture of rising in the morning and experiencing the glory of your presence each day Amen.
