After a bit of an absence, I'm back to blogging.
It's so important to spend time with the Lord each day. Here are some select quotes from Spurgeon on the importance of morning devotions:
"[M]orning devotions have always been dear to enlightened, heaven-loving souls, and it has been their practice never to see the face of dawn until they have first seen the face of God.
"Morning devotions anchor the soul, so that it will not very readily drift far away from God during the day. They perfume the heart so that it smells fragrant with piety until nightfall; they hold up the soul's garments so that it is less apt to stumble; they feed all their power so that the soul is not permitted to faint.
"The morning is the gate of the day and should be well-guarded with prayer. He who rushes from his bed to his business and does not wait to worship is as foolish as if he had not put on his clothes or washed his face. He is as unwise as one who dashes into battle without being armed. Let us bathe in the softly flowing river of communion with God before the heat of the wilderness and the burden of the way begin to oppress us."
Morning and Evening, Charles Spurgeon

Thank you for the reminder since sometimes in the hustle and bustle of the week/month/day/year/whatever I can lose sight of *why* (that's supposed to be italics, but I have yet to figure out how to make them in comments) I do what I do (sometimes it takes stepping back and re-evaluating a habit to understand why the habit developed in the first place :)). I like Spurgeon's description as well.
Thank you..that is just what I needed.
