0:01The house may be quiet when you wake up
0:03in the morning.
0:04The sun has not yet filled the room.
0:06The world has not yet asked anything
0:08from you. There are no phone calls, no
0:10errands, no noise. It is just you and
0:13another day that God has placed gently
0:15into your hands. For what happens in
0:17those first moments may determine more
0:19than you realize.
0:20Many believers spend their lives asking
0:23God for more spiritual power while
0:25giving him the last few minutes of their
0:27day. They wonder why they feel weary and
0:29spiritless. They wonder why fear speaks
0:32louder than faith. They wonder why peace
0:34seems to come and go like the wind.
0:37But what if I told you that spiritual
0:38power is not something God is hiding
0:40from you? What if it begins with
0:42something so simple that many have
0:44overlooked it for years?
0:46What if it begins before breakfast,
0:48before the news,
0:50before the worries of life find their
0:51way into your thoughts?
0:53There is something holy about the
0:54morning.
0:56Before the world has spoken its first
0:57word to you,
0:59God is waiting to speak his word into
1:01your heart. He is not waiting with
1:03disappointment. He is not standing there
1:05to remind you of yesterday's failures.
1:08He is waiting like a loving father who
1:10delights in his children. He simply
1:12desires fellowship with you.
1:14Many Christians think spiritual power
1:16belongs only to great men and women of
1:18faith. They read stories of believers
1:20who changed lives, prayed with
1:22confidence, and walked in great peace.
1:24And they quietly say to themselves, that
1:26could never be me.
1:28My dear friend, that is simply not true.
1:31Spiritual power was never meant for a
1:32chosen few. It was never reserved for
1:35pastors, missionaries, or Bible
1:37teachers.
1:38For God has always desired that every
1:40one of his children would walk closely
1:42with him. The greatest tragedy is not
1:44that Christians lack God's love.
1:47It is that many have never learned how
1:48to begin their day with him.
1:50You see, every morning someone will
1:52disciple your heart. Either the world
1:54will speak first, or God will.
1:57Either fear will enter first or faith
1:59will. Either your circumstances will
2:01become greater in your eyes or your
2:03heavenly father will become greater. For
2:06many people, the very first thing they
2:08do each morning is reach for their
2:09phone.
2:11Before they have spoken to God, they
2:13have listened to the world. Before they
2:15have thanked him for another day of
2:17life, they have already begun carrying
2:19the burdens of the day ahead.
2:22Their minds become crowded before their
2:23spirits have had an opportunity to
2:25breathe.
2:26Then they wonder why peace feels so
2:28distant.
2:29I have learned something through the
2:30years. You cannot fill your mind with
2:33worry and expect your spirit to remain
2:35strong. Well, your spirit was created
2:37for fellowship with God. Just as your
2:39body needs food each day, your spirit
2:42needs his presence.
2:43Some believers have prayed for spiritual
2:45power for 40 years while neglecting the
2:48simple habits that produce it. They have
2:50waited for God to suddenly change them
2:52when God has been lovingly inviting them
2:54every morning to simply sit with him.
2:57Spiritual power is not always loud.
3:00Sometimes it looks like a quiet believer
3:02sitting beside their bed before sunrise
3:04whispering, "Father,
3:06thank you for another day."
3:08Sometimes it sounds like an elderly
3:10saint opening their Bible with trembling
3:12hands and reading only a few verses with
3:14great love in their heart. Sometimes it
3:17is nothing more than sitting quietly
3:18before God and saying, "Lord, I belong
3:21to you today."
3:22Never underestimate the power of small
3:24beginnings.
3:26We live in a generation that loves big
3:27moments. We want powerful experiences
3:29and dramatic stories. Yet throughout
3:32scripture, we continually find God
3:33working through what seems small. A seed
3:36becomes a tree. A shepherd becomes a
3:37king. Five loaves feed thousands. Well,
3:40God delights in beginning with simple
3:42things. Your morning may become one of
3:45those simple things that God uses to
3:47transform your life. Some of you
3:49listening today have faithfully walked
3:51with Jesus for many years. Your hair has
3:54turned gray. Your steps may have slowed
3:56a little.
3:57You have known both victories and
3:59sorrows.
4:00Perhaps you have buried loved ones.
4:02Perhaps there are prayers you have
4:03carried for decades. Full. Perhaps there
4:06are mornings when getting out of bed
4:07requires more strength than it once did.
4:10Please hear me carefully. Full.
4:12God has not finished speaking to your
4:14heart simply because you have grown
4:16older.
4:17There is no retirement from fellowship
4:19with him. Full. I believe some of the
4:21sweetest years of walking with God are
4:22often found in the later seasons of
4:24life. Why?
4:27Because there is something beautiful
4:28about a heart that has learned that God
4:30is faithful through every season. Full.
4:33Do not allow the enemy to whisper that
4:35your greatest days with God are behind
4:37you. The Holy Spirit does not grow weary
4:39of meeting with his children. Full. His
4:42mercies are still new every morning.
4:44Not occasionally. Not only when we feel
4:46worthy. Every morning. There are
4:48mornings when you may not feel spiritual
4:50at all. Your mind may be distracted.
4:53Your body may feel tired. Your emotions
4:55may feel heavy. Come to him anyway.
4:57Do not wait until you feel powerful
4:59before you seek God.
5:01Full. Seek him and he will strengthen
5:02you. Some people have made prayer seem
5:04complicated.
5:06Others have made fellowship with God
5:08feel difficult. Full. But I want to tell
5:10you something precious today. Your
5:12heavenly Father is not asking for
5:14perfection when you come before him in
5:16the morning. He is asking for you. Full.
5:18He is not measuring how eloquently you
5:20pray. He is not counting how many
5:23chapters you read before breakfast. He
5:25desires your heart more than your
5:26performance. Perhaps your prayer is only
5:2930 seconds long. Perhaps all you can say
5:32is Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me.
5:34Walk with me today.
5:36Heaven hears that prayer. Full. Perhaps
5:38you open your Bible and read only a few
5:40verses before quietly thinking about
5:42them throughout your day.
5:44Heaven delights in that fellowship.
5:46Full. Never make the mistake of
5:47believing that God is impressed by what
5:49impresses men. He is moved by faith, by
5:52love, and by hearts that simply desire
5:54him.
5:55And I wonder how different our days
5:57would become if before we spoke to
5:59anyone else, we simply gave God the
6:01first moments of our morning before fear
6:04has an opportunity to speak, before
6:06yesterday's disappointments return to
6:08our thoughts, before tomorrow's worries
6:10steal today's peace. Full.
6:12Because there is something that happens
6:14when God speaks first into your day that
6:16many believers have never discovered,
6:19and it changes far more than your
6:20mornings.
6:22It begins changing how you think, how
6:24you pray, how you speak, and even how
6:26you face the battles that once seemed
6:28impossible to overcome.
6:30And perhaps that is where we must begin
6:32before we ever speak about spiritual
6:34power itself.
6:35Because there is a secret hidden in
6:37those first moments after you open your
6:39eyes each morning that many believers
6:42have spent their entire lives missing.
6:44Well, there is a reason the enemy fights
6:46so hard for your mornings. He
6:48understands something that many
6:49believers have forgotten.
6:52He knows that whatever fills your heart
6:53first often follows you throughout the
6:55day.
6:56If he can fill your mind with worry
6:58before faith speaks, he has already
7:00gained ground. If he can fill your
7:03thoughts with fear before God's promises
7:05enter your heart, he knows your prayers
7:07will become weaker.
7:09Your peace will become smaller and your
7:11joy will become quieter.
7:13Have you ever noticed how one thought
7:14can shape an entire day? You wake up
7:17discouraged,
7:18and before noon everything feels heavy.
7:21But have you also noticed that when your
7:23heart is filled with God's peace in the
7:25morning, well, difficult moments do not
7:27shake you quite as easily. That is not
7:29an accident. What enters first matters.
7:31Many years ago,
7:33I began noticing something beautiful
7:34about mature believers.
7:36It was not their knowledge that
7:37impressed me most. It was their peace.
7:41There was something settled about them.
7:43Life had wounded them, but it had not
7:45hardened them.
7:46They had known loss, but they still
7:47carried joy.
7:49They had walked through difficult
7:50valleys, but their eyes remained fixed
7:53upon the goodness of God.
7:55I would often wonder what made the
7:56difference.
7:58Then I discovered something simple.
8:00They had learned to guard their
8:01fellowship with God.
8:03They were not hurried people when it
8:05came to his presence.
8:07They knew that before they could give
8:08anything to the world, they must first
8:10receive something from him.
8:12Their mornings belonged to God. My dear
8:14friend,
8:15spiritual power does not begin when you
8:18stand before a mountain and command it
8:19to move.
8:21It begins when you quietly bow your
8:23heart before your father when no one
8:24else is watching.
8:26The greatest victories are often
8:28prepared in the quietest moments. We
8:30love public testimonies, but God often
8:32does his deepest work in private places.
8:34Before David stood before Goliath, he
8:37walked faithfully with God in lonely
8:38fields.
8:40Before anyone saw his victory, God saw
8:41his fellowship. Do not despise quiet
8:44mornings with God. Heaven does not.
8:46Sometimes we imagine spiritual power as
8:48something dramatic. We imagine powerful
8:51prayers and extraordinary moments.
8:53But often spiritual power looks much
8:55simpler than we expected. It looks like
8:57opening your Bible while the coffee is
8:59still warm.
9:01It looks like thanking God for another
9:02sunrise. It looks like speaking his
9:05promises softly over your family.
9:07It looks like sitting quietly when you
9:09do not know what to pray and simply
9:11whispering, "Father, I am here." That is
9:14where strength begins.
9:15I know there are some listening to me
9:17who feel disappointed with themselves.
9:19You have started morning routines
9:21before.
9:22You have made promises to God before.
9:25Perhaps you kept them for a few days or
9:26a few weeks, but life became busy and
9:29slowly those moments disappeared again.
9:31Please do not allow guilt to speak
9:33louder than grace. God is not waiting to
9:36remind you how many times you failed
9:38yesterday. He is inviting you again
9:40today. Isn't that beautiful? His
9:42invitation is always fresh. He does not
9:44say, "You should have come yesterday."
9:47He simply says,
9:48"Come now."
9:49Sometimes we are harder on ourselves
9:51than God is. We imagine him standing far
9:53away when all along he has been standing
9:55very near.
9:57We imagine disappointment in his voice
9:59when there is only love.
10:00We imagine that we must somehow earn our
10:02way back into his presence when Jesus
10:05has already made the way for us.
10:07Never forget that God delights in
10:09spending time with his children.
10:11Think about that for just a moment.
10:13The creator of heaven and earth desires
10:15fellowship with you,
10:17not because of what you have
10:18accomplished, not because you prayed
10:20perfectly yesterday. He desires you
10:22because you are his.
10:24There are mornings when you may feel
10:26weak. Come anyway. There are mornings
10:28when you feel joyful. Come anyway.
10:30There are mornings when your prayers
10:32feel powerful. Come anyway. There are
10:35mornings when all you can offer him is
10:36your tired and weary heart. Come anyway.
10:40Well, never let your feelings decide
10:41whether or not you will meet with God.
10:43Feelings are wonderful servants, but
10:45they make poor masters.
10:48Some of the sweetest moments you will
10:49ever experience with God will happen on
10:52ordinary mornings that seemed
10:53unimportant when they began. You may
10:56never know how one quiet prayer changes
10:58an entire day.
10:59You may never realize how one verse
11:01hidden in your heart becomes the very
11:03strength you need later that afternoon.
11:06Perhaps the peace that carries you
11:07through tomorrow's trial is being
11:09planted during today's fellowship with
11:11him.
11:12God always works deeper than we can see.
11:15I often think about how quickly we
11:17prepare for important moments in life.
11:19We prepare for meetings. We prepare for
11:21appointments.
11:23We prepare for family gatherings and
11:24celebrations. Yet sometimes we walk into
11:27an entire day without preparing our
11:29hearts. We prepare our calendars but
11:31neglect our spirits. No wonder so many
11:34believers feel spiritually exhausted. We
11:36were never created to carry life's
11:38burdens without first learning to rest
11:40in his presence. You do not need another
11:42complicated formula.
11:44You do not need 12 difficult steps to
11:46become spiritually powerful. Sometimes
11:49the greatest truths are also the
11:50simplest ones. Give God your first
11:52moments. Before the world speaks, let
11:55him speak. Before fear speaks, let faith
11:58speak. Before your circumstances speak,
11:59let his promises speak. Sit quietly if
12:02you must. Open his word slowly if you
12:04must. Pray softly if you must, but give
12:07him those first moments. Little by
12:09little, something beautiful begins to
12:11happen. Your mind becomes quieter. Your
12:13faith becomes stronger. Your prayers
12:16become more confident. The things that
12:18once troubled you lose some of their
12:19power over your heart.
12:21And then one day you realize that God
12:24has been doing something much deeper
12:26than changing your mornings. He has been
12:28changing you. People may not immediately
12:31notice it, but they will eventually see
12:33it upon your face. They will hear it in
12:35your words. They will feel it in your
12:37presence.
12:39There will be a peace about you that
12:40cannot be explained by circumstances
12:42alone. And what began as a few quiet
12:45moments each morning will slowly become
12:47something precious that you cannot
12:49imagine beginning your day without.
12:52Because there is another beautiful truth
12:54about spiritual power that most
12:56Christians never discover until they
12:58learn what it truly means to give God
13:00not only the first moments of their day,
13:03but also the first place within their
13:05hearts. You see, there is a difference
13:07between giving God a few moments and
13:09giving him first place. For many
13:12believers do the first, but never learn
13:14the second. We can pray in the morning
13:16and still carry the world in our hearts
13:18all day long. We can read a chapter from
13:21our Bible and still allow fear to have
13:22the loudest voice in our minds.
13:25God desires something far more beautiful
13:27than a religious habit. He desires a
13:30relationship that follows you wherever
13:32you go. He never intended for you to
13:34leave him in your prayer chair when you
13:36begin your day.
13:38He desires to walk with you into your
13:40kitchen,
13:41into your workplace, into your doctor's
13:43appointment, into your moments of joy
13:45and your moments of uncertainty.
13:47Fellowship with God was never meant to
13:49last for 15 minutes in the morning.
13:52It was meant to become the atmosphere of
13:54your life.
13:55That is why your mornings matter so
13:56much. They are not the destination. They
13:59are the beginning. When you give him
14:01your first moments each day, you are
14:03quietly saying, "Father, before I belong
14:06to this world today, I belong to you."
14:09There is something powerful about that
14:10surrender. I am concerned for many
14:12believers today, not because they do not
14:15love God, but because they have become
14:16spiritually distracted. We live in noisy
14:19times.
14:21Every voice is demanding our attention.
14:23Every day the world tells us what we
14:25should fear, what we should worry about,
14:28and what should trouble our hearts
14:29tomorrow. And slowly, without even
14:32realizing it, many Christians have
14:34become more familiar with the world's
14:36voice than they are with the voice of
14:38their heavenly Father. That should
14:40concern us. There was a time when many
14:42believers carried God's promises in
14:44their hearts throughout the day.
14:46Today, many carry their anxieties
14:48instead. There was a time when they
14:50would wake expecting God's faithfulness.
14:53Today, many wake expecting another
14:55difficult day before they have even
14:57placed their feet upon the floor.
14:59My dear friend,
15:01do not allow fear to become your morning
15:02companion. Let God be the first voice
15:05that welcomes you into a new day.
15:07When you wake tomorrow morning,
15:09before you remember yesterday's
15:10disappointments, remember his
15:12faithfulness.
15:13Before you think about everything that
15:15remains undone, remember that his
15:17mercies are new once again. Do not say,
15:19"I am too old to grow spiritually."
15:22Abraham was called later in life. For
15:24Moses began one of the greatest
15:26assignments of his life at 80 years old.
15:29God is not measuring your usefulness by
15:31the number of candles upon your birthday
15:33cake. For as long as there is breath
15:35within you, there is still fellowship
15:37waiting for you. There are treasures in
15:40God's presence that some believers never
15:42discover because they stopped seeking
15:44too soon. Do not stop now.
15:47Some of you have walked with God for
15:48decades, but I want to lovingly tell you
15:50something.
15:52There is still more of his peace for you
15:53to experience.
15:55There is still more joy to discover.
15:57There is still more confidence in prayer
15:59waiting to become part of your daily
16:01life.
16:02And for some listening today, for
16:04perhaps this message feels like a gentle
16:06invitation home. You have loved the
16:08Lord, but life has become crowded. Your
16:11Bible has gathered more dust than
16:12fingerprints.
16:14Prayer has become shorter than you
16:15intended.
16:16Your mornings belong to everyone else
16:18except God. Please hear my heart when I
16:20say this.
16:22There is no condemnation waiting for you
16:24in his presence. Only open arms. You do
16:26not have to explain your absence to him.
16:28For you simply have to come start
16:30tomorrow morning.
16:31Not next month. Not when life becomes
16:34easier. Not when you feel more spiritual
16:36than you do today.
16:37Tomorrow morning, before the world
16:39places its burdens upon your shoulders,
16:42place your heart into his hands. Sit
16:44quietly if that is all you can do.
16:46Whisper his name if that is where you
16:48must begin.
16:49Open his word even if you can only read
16:51a few verses. He is not asking for
16:53perfection. He is asking for fellowship.
16:56And when God truly becomes first within
16:58your heart, something begins to happen
17:00that reaches far beyond peace and
17:02comfort.
17:03Because there is a kind of spiritual
17:05authority that quietly grows in
17:07believers who have learned not only to
17:09seek him early,
17:11but to remain close enough to recognize
17:13when he is speaking.
17:14There There some things that quietly
17:16steal our spiritual strength. And we do
17:19not always recognize them when they
17:20first arrive.
17:22They do not come knocking loudly at our
17:23door.
17:25They simply settle into our hearts a
17:26little at a time.
17:28Unforgiveness is one of them. A wounded
17:30heart can still sing hymns on Sunday and
17:32yet feel far from peace on Monday
17:34morning. You can love God deeply and
17:36still carry hurts that he never asked
17:38you to carry alone.
17:40Some of you listening today have carried
17:42pain for years. You remember every word
17:45that was spoken. You remember every
17:47disappointment. You remember who left,
17:49who betrayed you, and who failed you.
17:52And I know forgiveness is not always
17:53easy. Sometimes the deepest wounds come
17:56from the people we love the most.
17:58But my dear friend, please hear me
18:00carefully. God never asked you to become
18:02a prison for yesterday's pain.
18:05He never intended for bitterness to
18:07become your closest companion in the
18:08later years of your life.
18:11The person who hurt you may have
18:12forgotten what happened long ago. But
18:14your heart continues to carry what God
18:16desires to heal. Forgiveness is not
18:19pretending that nothing happened. It is
18:21placing your pain into God's hands and
18:23saying, "Father, for I trust you more
18:25than I trust my own understanding.
18:27Sometimes forgiveness must become a
18:29daily prayer. Lord, I choose to forgive
18:32again today."
18:33Do not wait until your feelings agree
18:35with your obedience.
18:37Feelings often follow where faith has
18:38already gone. There are also some
18:41listening today who have become
18:42discouraged with themselves. You love
18:45the Lord, but if you are honest, you are
18:47tired.
18:48Perhaps you have prayed the same prayer
18:50for years.
18:51Perhaps there are battles you thought
18:53would have ended by now. Perhaps you
18:55look at your own spiritual life and
18:57quietly wonder why you still struggle in
18:59certain places.
19:01Please stop speaking to yourself more
19:03harshly than God speaks to you.
19:05The enemy loves to remind us of where we
19:07have failed. The Holy Spirit lovingly
19:09reminds us where we may return. There is
19:12a great difference between condemnation
19:14and conviction. One pushes you away from
19:16God.
19:17The other gently draws you closer. If
19:19you feel his loving conviction today, do
19:21not run from it. Run toward him.
19:24Repentance is one of God's greatest
19:26gifts to his children.
19:27It is not something we should fear.
19:30It is simply turning our hearts back
19:31toward the one who has loved us from the
19:33beginning.
19:35Perhaps repentance for you is not
19:36turning away from some great outward
19:38sin. Perhaps it is much quieter than
19:40that.
19:41Perhaps you simply need to repent of
19:43worry.
19:44You have carried tomorrow's troubles for
19:46so long that you no longer know what it
19:48feels like to rest. So, perhaps you need
19:51to repent of allowing fear to become
19:53more believable than God's promises.
19:55Perhaps you need to repent of believing
19:57that your best days with God are already
19:59behind you. Or perhaps you need to
20:02repent of giving God what remains of
20:03your day instead of giving him your
20:05first and your best.
20:08Do not allow pride to keep you from
20:09simple repentance. There is something
20:12beautiful that happens when we humble
20:14ourselves before God.
20:15We discover that his mercy has always
20:17been waiting for us. He is far kinder
20:19than we imagine him to be.
20:21I wish every believer could truly
20:23understand how deeply they are loved by
20:25their heavenly Father. So many spend
20:28their lives trying to earn what he
20:29freely desires to give. They serve him
20:32faithfully. Yet secretly wonder if they
20:34have disappointed him one time too many.
20:37My dear friend, if you belong to Jesus,
20:39then hear these words and hold them
20:41close to your heart. He has not grown
20:43weary of you.
20:45He has not become tired of hearing your
20:47voice in prayer. He has not closed the
20:49door to his presence. His invitation
20:51remains the same today. Come closer.
20:54Trust him a little more tomorrow than
20:55you did today.
20:57Forgive a little more freely than you
20:58did yesterday.
21:00Worry a little less than you did last
21:02week. Open his word a little more often
21:04than you did before. Walk with him a
21:07little more closely than you once
21:08thought possible. Do not underestimate
21:11what God can do with an ordinary
21:12believer who simply chooses to remain
21:15near him day after day. Well, mountains
21:17are not always moved in a single moment.
21:19Sometimes God changes a life quietly,
21:21faithfully,
21:22and beautifully through thousands of
21:24ordinary mornings spent in his presence.
21:27And there is something else that begins
21:29to happen when a believer learns to
21:30trust God not only with their prayers,
21:34but with their fears, their future, for
21:36their failures, and even the hidden
21:38places of their heart because they
21:40slowly discover that spiritual power is
21:42not first about what God does through
21:44them, but about what he lovingly desires
21:47to do within them when they finally
21:48become still enough to let him speak.
21:51My dear friend,
21:53if there is one thing I hope you carry
21:54with you after hearing these words, it
21:56is this, God is not far away from you.
21:59He has never been far away.
22:01Even in the seasons when you felt
22:03distant from him, he remained near. Even
22:05when your prayers felt weak, he was
22:07listening.
22:08Even when your faith felt small,
22:10his faithfulness remained great. Do not
22:13spend another day believing that
22:14spiritual power belongs to someone else.
22:17It belongs to the child of God who
22:19simply learns to walk closely with their
22:21father.
22:22Never forget that God is not asking you
22:24to become someone else. He is asking you
22:26to come as you are and allow him to
22:28shape who you are becoming.
22:30Tomorrow morning is not just another
22:32morning. It is another invitation.
22:35When you open your eyes, remember that
22:36his mercies are waiting for you. Before
22:39you speak to the world, speak to him.
22:41Before you carry your burdens, place
22:44them into his hands. Before you listen
22:46to your fears, listen to his promises.
22:48Do not make your mornings complicated.
22:50Keep them simple. Keep them sacred. God,
22:53thank him for another day. Open his
22:55word. Speak to him honestly. Sit quietly
22:57if you need to. And stay there long
22:59enough to remember whose you are. Years
23:02from now,
23:03no one may remember the busy days that
23:05filled your calendar,
23:07but heaven remembers every quiet moment
23:09of fellowship you shared with your
23:10father.
23:11No prayer has ever been wasted. No tear
23:14has ever been ignored. No morning
23:16surrendered to God has ever been
23:17meaningless.
23:19Some of you listening today have walked
23:20with God for 50 or 60 years. Others may
23:23feel as though they are only now
23:25learning how to truly walk with him. Do
23:27not stop. Keep coming closer. Keep
23:30trusting him.
23:31Keep forgiving.
23:33Keep believing. Keep opening your Bible.
23:35Keep speaking his promises over your
23:37life and over those you love.
23:39And when difficult days come, because
23:41they will come,
23:43remember that the strength you need
23:44tomorrow is often found in the
23:46fellowship you cultivate today. The
23:48greatest treasure of the Christian life
23:50is not merely receiving blessings from
23:52God. It is knowing him,
23:54walking with him,
23:56hearing his gentle voice throughout the
23:57ordinary moments of life. So, when
23:59tomorrow morning comes,
24:01do not begin your day alone when heaven
24:03is waiting to walk beside you.
24:05Give him your first thoughts. Give him
24:07your first words.
24:09Give him your first moments. And little
24:11by little, day after day, you will
24:13discover that what you were seeking was
24:15never merely spiritual power.
24:17It was his presence all along.
24:20And when his presence becomes the
24:21greatest desire of your heart, you will
24:23find that the quiet believer who begins
24:26each morning with God possesses a
24:27strength this world can never give and
24:30can never take away.
