How many times a day do you eat? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus snacks throughout the day. As soon as we get hungry, or sometimes even before we get hungry, we eat. Especially as teenagers, there's always one thing on our mind: food. But what if we thought about the Bread of Life as much as or more than we think about food? For those of you who don't know what the Bread of Life is, this scripture is for you: [Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. John 6:35]. Jesus is the Bread of Life. He gives our spirit lasting satisfaction, while our physical body has to eat again and again and again to continue to be satisfied. So just like you wake up in the morning and eat breakfast, it's important to wake up and eat of the Bread of Life. Here are 3 reasons why I like spending time with God first thing in the morning.
1. I Feel Like I'm Starting My Day Right Some people have to wake up and exercise to feel like they're starting their day right. With other people, it may be other things. With me, it's spending time with God. If I don't read my Bible, pray, and read my devotional before I do anything else, I feel like I'm not starting my day the way I should. In my mind, God is first in my life, so He should be first every day. 2. It Gives Me Joy For The Day When I spend time with God first thing in the morning, it gives me joy for the day. I always feel happy when I'm reading the Bible. When I start my day off with scriptures, I'm happy for the whole day, not just while I'm reading. 3. I'm Able To Practice What I Learned I always learn something every time I read the Bible. No matter what book or chapter I'm reading in, I'm always able to apply it to my life in some way or another. Whenever I read something in the Bible, I get excited about living it out. I know it might seem dumb to some people, but I like reading in the mornings so that when God reveals something to me through His Word or when I learn something new, I'm able to practice living it out all day. I hope this post has challenged you to start waking up earlier in order to spend time with God first thing in the morning.
