My devotions are usually the first thing I do upon prying my eyes open in the morning. (I used to fix myelf a cup of hot tea first, but since becoming pregnant the stuff makes me sick!) Therefore, I'm not much to look at during that early hour. Despite my hair sticking out in every direction it is a cherished time in my day. The Lord is so kind and gracious to allow me to meet with Him.
I am currently reading a number of wonderful books. In the Bible, I am working through the book of Isaiah with my new Reformation Study Bible (a must buy item!). Charles Spurgeon's, Morning and Evening is next. These short daily readings never fail to encourage and challenge me in some way. And I'm nearing the end of R.C. Sproul's, The Holiness of God. I couldn't recommend this book more highly! It's easy to read and so insightful. For my prayer time, I often visit a Psalm and use The Valley of Vision.
Throughout my devotions, my journal is open nearby with my pen. I love to jot down verses, quotes and prayers as I go along. My favorite verse from my time with the Lord this morning comes from Psalm 103:11: "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him."
