Why You Need A Morning Routine

  1. focus is a limited resource.
    • A morning routine buys you more focused time, because it allows you to wake up before the distractions start.
  2. Because you need quiet time with the Lord.
    • Arguably the best time to do devotions is in the morning because it is:
      • undistracted
      • it influences the rest of your day
      • It is the example that we see in scripture
        • Mark 1.35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
        • Psalm 119.147 I rise before dawn and cry for help. I put my hope in your words.
        • Psalm 5.3 Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
  3. Morning routines allow you to focus on becoming a type of person.
