Morning Scripture To Start Your Day

74

By yolanda yvette

The best way to start any day is with The Word of God. Reading it, praying it and confessing it over your life each day prepares you spiritually for whatever Satan and the world may throw at you and helps you 'set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.' (Colossians 3:2)

Here are some scriptures that will help you kickstart your day--each day-- with a spiritual boost:

1. Psalm 118:24

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

2. Proverb 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

3. Isaiah 26:3

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

4. Philippians 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

5. Psalm 23

The Lord is my sheperd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

6. Psalm 91

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy feet against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

7. Isaiah 54: 17

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

8. Psalm 56:3

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

If everyone ate your recommended breakfast here, the world would be a so much better place. We have hardly begun to discover the power the Word releases into our lives and into our personal environments. Thanks for a great hub!

Hey yolanda: what a beautiful hub. About 5 years ago, God to me to get up before the sun comes up and commune with Him. There is something so very special about the morning hour. Be Blessed. Thank you!

I so agree the Word must be priority. Great verses and loved the song you selected.

We cannot live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from His mouth.

Bettybarnesb, there sure is something special about praying in the morning hours. I believe it's best to have your daily prayer ascended to God before the sun comes up, as you do. There's power in that. God bless you.

Dear Yolanda ,Thanks for the mail you sent me,I appreciate it.I like your style of beginning the day.Its such a blessing to begin the day with memorizing God's word or reciting them.It cleanses us and armors us to face the enemy's attacks.

yolanda yvette Hub Author 15 months ago

Thank you, Olgakhumlo. It's so true that you've said, the Word of God "cleasnses us and armors us to face the enemies attacks." No doubt about that. God bless you.

My wife keeps insisting that I need to read the bible more. The reason why I have not is because there are huge swathes of it that quite frankly are boring to me.

I pray all the time, not just when things go wrong but also to thank Jesus. So am I unchristian?

I don't think so as I adore listening to Nicky Gumbel, a powerful teacher. He gives reasons and explanations to passages throughout the bible which we will not understand without this guidance.

I have not listened to him for a while though so maybe a return to this may have me using the bible for at least reference purposes.

It is always good to see hubbers using the HubPages platform for Christian purposes. Thanks Yolanda, voted up.

Thanks, Blagsmith. It took me years to develop a hunger for the Word. I knew I needed it and wanted to want it, but for a number of years just couldn't make the adjustment. I am still challenged in this area but no where near before. It helps if you can find something in it that can hold your attention and go from there. For me it's the Samuels and the Kings and the Chronicles. I gravitate to them I believe because of the storytelling in them. I listen to the Bible some too. I don't see anything wrong with it. But I do find, for me, reading is better. My best to you. Thanks again for your support.

Thank you, Awifealone. We don't always realize how much God is using us to bless others. Your comment confirms to me that the Lord can take the simplest thing and turn it into something great, if only for one someone. God's continued blessings to you.
