Read Psalm 119:105-112
There are people in the world you wouldn’t miss the opportunity to meet. Well, God Himself wants to meet with you each day. Are you a “night person” or a “morning person”?

PRAY BEFORE READING

KEEP A JOURNAL
Buy a notebook. Let it be your spiritual diary. Write in thoughts and impressions you gain during this time.
PRAY
