Sitting here in my chair with my coffee to start my day, no lights on, in the dark. Worship music is playing. All is quiet outside. This is my favorite way to start my day, time with Jesus, worship music playing, coffee cup full, and writing my blog post.

As I sit in the dark because it feels too early to turn lights on, there is a light. The light of Jesus shines in the spiritual darkness. His presence is with us-ALWAYS. Jesus woke me up with a song in my spirit- What A Beautiful Name.

Zephaniah 3:17 says, “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Having a song in my spirit reminds me that the presence of Jesus is with me. It is such a blessed way to wake up and start my day.

Have you ever stopped to think about Jesus singing over you? We sing worship songs in churches to express our love to Jesus, but he also sings over us to express his love to us.

The sun is coming up now. After starting my day this way, I feel ready to go teach my newcomer refugee class and then perhaps go to my coffee shop.

How do you like to start your day?

Thank you for reading. God Bless.

  1. I always start my day with a cup of coffee, meditation, and then writing, and listening to the birds sing outside my window!

  3. The start to your day sounds wonderful. I like saying, “Thank you Father for another day,” when I wake up. A new day with new mercies. Have a blessed day! ☀️

    1. I like that- Thank you Father for another day. I can imagine you waking up with a smile unlike me 🙂

  4. I love starting my day out with some prayer and mediation, and it has been helping so much lately. We’ve had some stuff going on that’s been stressful to say the least. Our lawyers are taking good care of us but they can only do so much, so prayer and meditation have been helping recenter myself.

    1. Prayed for you and your situation

  5. Great way to wake up!!
    I’ve been listening to worship music lately while I get ready to go teach in the mornings! Love it!!
