I’m definitely a morning person; you might be groaning at the thought. Believe me; I haven’t always been a morning person. I regularly stayed up all night listening to future husband Norm Davis (WNDR DJ Syracuse NY). He worked the midnight shift and we spent most of the night talking on the phone. I often slept to noon.

Now I’m up before daylight.

Why not try to cultivate the habit of rising early? Rise with the sun; open your blinds or pull up the shades to begin a brand new day. Listen… you can hear the morning melody of chirping birds. Stretch to limber up tight muscles and take a deep breath. Praise the Lord; you just inhaled His gift of life.

“Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living person (Genesis 2:7 NASB).”

David was a morning person; he awoke early.

“My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the nations.
For Your goodness is great to the heavens
And Your truth to the clouds.
Be exalted above the heavens, God;
May Your glory be above all the earth (Psalm 57:7-11 NASB).”

You say you’re a night person? You don't know what you're missing!
