A couple weeks ago I was sitting in church and Linda my wife leaned over and she
suggested that we kind of add something to our morning routine and so that's
what we're talking about in this video here and so I'm gonna drop you in on a
conversation that I was having with her and as we just kind of explore some of
the benefits of this that we've gotten out of it and what that might mean for
you and as we're going through this I'd love to hear down in the comment section
what has worked well for you like what you've added to your morning routine
that has helped you better connect with God and just stay really solid as you
move throughout your week so definitely leave us some comments down below with
those and with that let's get to it
so a few weeks ago Linda and I decided to start waking up it's kind of our new
morning routine waking up an hour before we're getting up beforehand and just
kind of giving god that first hour and spending that time praying about our
family but our business about whatever everything there's plenty of need to be
prayed about right and it's been a really good thing for us don't you think
well yeah that's the funny thing about this is I just feel like it's God's
grace is there because neither one of us know naturally would have like that's
what I always wish I would have been doing like I think both of us are like
yeah I wish I were the type of person who'd get up an hour before work and
pray every day I have a friend like that and she's really impressive yeah like
that's who I think we both like strive to be and but I know that when I've
tried to do this in my own strength in the past like it's just failed and I and
then on top of that I felt guilty but like this has been like kind of
effortless right you just came with the idea and suggested it and yeah it's just
like God's grace is they're helping us to do it and I think the point is is that
you know it whatever God's calling you to do is different you know it's in our
cases is we're supposed to do for right now so we're doing it yeah but you know
for somebody else this might not be the thing you know you know and we're taking
this on a week-by-week basis to where we're just going one week at a time I'm
not trying to create some sort of like we're gonna do this the rest of our
lives thing but just do when we get a time finish a week do we want to do it
again and we've done that three times now
the way it affects my days I just don't feel so behind which seems like a minor
thing but for me that was actually really big yeah cuz I felt like I would
wake up and I would be in this frenzy and I just don't feel like that anymore
but it does just feel like things are a little bit more smooth sailing it's also
been good for our kids because as they wake up they see us and we're praying in
our prayer playroom and that we have a little path we walk around the playroom
but it's been good for them because I feel like they're getting to see us
model something that yeah that I want to continue
part of what I like is that we get to spend the morning together
and most of the time you would wake up and
then go straight to work so if you woke up at 5:30 or something you'd rare but
clock just went off and you just were awake you would leave before I even woke up
yeah but the other point of that is you are saying well I'm not going to be
spending that hour and a half at work I'm actually going to be spending it
with God and so instead of investing that into work you're investing it where
it can be multiplied well and there's something about this first fruits
principle in the Bible you know I remember reading somebody who said like
the quote was something to the effect of any first fruits given or multiply it any
first fruits not given or lost or something like that
I'm in this season where I I'm kind of feeling like there's so much copycat
stuff there's so much I'm gonna do this because this person is doing it yeah
yeah it's just really I want to run the opposite direction and I want to avoid
things that everybody else are doing and I want to really try to get clear on
what God is saying in calling me to do and if this has caused me to make a lot
of changes in my life it's caused me to spend a lot less time on social media
almost like completely eliminate it to some extent it's caused me to it's
caused me to just kind of change it's not my season how how I'm evaluating
things that I'm listening to and and watching and learning from and I just
want to be someone who is doing what God has for me to do yeah rather than
anybody else's system anybody else's method or strategy or the thing that he
gave them to do that's working really well but you know I mean
my challenge to you is to pray let's see what God has for you to do and see what that
little thing might be these leading you to do that yeah you know I don't think
it's you know run out and get up an hour early and pray like we're doing right
now but find that thing for you it is yeah yeah maybe it is but don't just do
that because we're doing it but ask God what you should be doing like what you
can do to draw nearer to Him you know and to and to get closer to Him and
spend more time with Him and better connect with Him it just asked that
question it's like heart God hears us when we
pray you know like this is just I think we forget about this sometimes yeah that
like He'll show you and He'll give you some idea you know and anyway
so that's my encouragement to you will leave you with yeah good
so have a great rest of your day and we'll see you soon!
