Morning Stillness

“And when the cloud lifted in the morning, they set out...” (Numbers 9:21 ESV)

Mornings are precious. The mind moves from a subconscious state to the surface, shaking off the soul blanket before donning the concerns of the body. This interval before the brain fog lifts, and you set out for the daily agenda, must be cherished. The cloud of the Holy Spirit remains near. Be still. Listen to the whispers. Feel the nudges.

“They gathered it every morning, each person according to need. Then the sun heated up and it melted.” (Exodus 16:21 MSG)

Each morning, God provides you with the guidance. Gather up every insight before it melts away. Once you move on to the chaos of the day, it becomes harder to connect to the Spirit. Thus, wake up as early as you need; linger as long as you can.
