Early To Rise


A few weeks ago, after I started working again, God put upon my heart  to get up early and do my bible study, so I tried to be diligent and do what He told me.  I was setting my alarm for 5am instead of 530 but Man I am here to tell ya, I couldn't wake up!  I found myself hitting the snooze alarm on Jesus!  Oh My!  I really felt bad but no matter what I did I couldn't wake up!  I still squeezed in my bible study but the fact is He told me to do it early and I wasn't!  Me and Jesus got our own thing going, He talks I listen, then I talk and He listens.  Not only do I listen I hear!  So the last couple weeks I have not had to set an alarm to get up, I have been waking up at 430, refreshed!  Usually only getting 3 hours of sleep!  Don't ask me how you can be refreshed with only 3 hours of sleep but I am.  They are really good 3 hours.  I don't wake up during those 3 hours I go to sleep at 1 and at 430 I wake up!  Every morning.  So this morning while I am doing my bible study and praying I think man this sure is nice that I don't have to do this feeling so sleepy!  I chalked it up to insomnia!  Bible study was just a benefit.  So when I got to work this morning I opened my computer and I have my home page set to a different verse everyday. 
This is my verse today!

Proverbs 8:17 (KJV)

17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
It hit me like a ton of bricks.  I didn't have insomnia I HAVE Jesus!  He is just making it easier on me to do what He told me to do!  Not only does he tell me what to do, He paves the way for me to do it!  Making it impossible for me to fail!  That just gives me those "God Goosebumps"! 
My simple alarm and early rising issues?  He was taking care of those things in the background for me.  I didn't even ask Him too!  He just did it.  So I know without a doubt that what He is working for good in the little things in my life, He is doing with the big things!  They just aren't a quick fix.  But I am seeing them work!  How do you tell someone who is dying that He is doing good works?  I can surely tell you I held on to that verse in Romans

Romans 8:28 (KJV)

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose
All through Dannys illness, I held on to that promise!  And I know its true!  So true!
God bless y'all today and don't worry if God is telling you to get up early? He will work it out so that you do!
Love you guys,
