Dear Readers, Thank you! Many of you responded to the recent blog post, Eric Liddell Just Kept Running. And thank you for the additional resources you shared from the life of this man of faith. Today’s blog post emerges from one such email where a dear friend highlighted Eric’s personal devotional questions he used on a daily basis. So beautifully, the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and service for God mark these queries.
Whether you consider one question or several (or one per day of the week) the intention is for one’s heart to be prepared to embrace fellowship with the Living God.
6 Questions to Ask Each Morning
1. Have I surrendered this new day to God, and will I seek and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit through its hours?
2. What have I specialty to thank God for this morning?
3. Is there any sin in my life for which I should seek Christ’s forgiveness and cleansing? Is there any apology or restitution to make?
4. For whom does God want me to pray this morning?
5. What bearing does this morning’s Bible passage have on my life, and what does He want me to do about it?
6. What does God want me to do today and how does he want me to do it?
