Seeking God Early

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Seeking God Early.

We begin with seeking God early in Psalm 63:

"O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary."
— Psalm 63:1-2

This desire to find Him first thing in the morning is echoed in Psalm 5:

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."
— Psalm 5:3 

When we wake, our very first thoughts can rise directly to Him, as we see in Psalm 88:

"But unto thee have 

I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent [come before] thee."

— Psalm 88:13 

Yet, this morning habit is meant to anchor an entire day of prayer—spanning morning, noon, and night—as Psalm 55 describes:

"Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice."
— Psalm 55:17 

This constant, unbroken connection is exactly what Jesus calls us to in the Gospel of Luke:

"And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;"
— Luke 18:1 

Fellow followers of Jesus, take heart in your pursuit of God. Please be assured that you are not alone in this journey, as many others are seeking Him as well.

That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.
