7 Scriptures to Start Each Morning
Each morning I start the day with prayer and reading scripture. It paves the way for a smooth productive day.
One of my favorite morning scripture is Psalm 118:24. I love the second stanza, “We will rejoice and be glad in it.” It’s almost like a command – “you will rejoice today, no exceptions.”
Isaiah 50:4 is also a powerful morning scripture where it states, “Morning by morning he wakens me..” The Lord is responsible for waking us up every morning, something we must give thanks for every day.
And don’t forget Psalm 30:5: “Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.” Each morning is a joyous morning, regardless of our circumstances. Take a look at it this way, in the night we cry out to God in prayer and in the morning, we rejoice.
To start your morning on a firm foundation, read one of these seven scriptures. Remember, it is important to read the Bible every day even if you start with just one verse. Every little counts.
