Sweet Scripture Sunday!


(Gen 19:27 KJV)
And Abraham gat up early in the morning
to the place where he stood before the LORD:

(Exo 24:4 KJV)
And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD,
and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill,
and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.


"The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day."
---E.M. Bounds

I took this picture of my husband
early this morning
sitting in his favorite chair
Reading his Bible.......
I am so blessed!!

God's Word is like a Breakfast Power Bar,
so don't skip breakfast.

Blessings!

Patty

  4. I had never thought about it in that way. Sometimes I do other things first. I need to change that in the morning.
    An eye opening post, Patty.

  7. I love that picture so much, and the verse that you chose to go with it. It reminded me of my father and how he always sat in that winged chair reading his Dutch Bible. At the time, I just took it for granted and thought nothing of it. But now, I look back and think of it as one the most precious thing and the most valuable thing he passed on to me -- the habit of listening to the voice of God!
