When we want to be sure we’re spending time in the Word and starting our day with prayer, we very easily slip into idealistic vision-chasing.
We imagine our morning devotions should
- be the very first thing we do in the morning
- be done before the kids are awake
- take at least thirty minutes, but maybe sixty
- include a stack of books
- be comfy-cozy with warm light, a hot beverage, and earth tone midliners and a gentle candle flickering
So then when our mornings begin by being tossed from bed by a crying infant, when we don’t have ten minutes together without being interrupted, when we never make it to our candle-lit reading corner, we wind up never actually beginning the day with prayer and Scripture.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We don’t need to have the perfect setting before we can fly to the Lord for daily sustenance. Such desperate, mid-action flight is more biblical than a cozy morning corner with scented candles, too.
