"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."- Psalm 5:3

I will direct my prayer as an arrow, and after that, 'I will look up,' to see if it has hit. When the prayer is directed in the morning, the 'look up' lasts all day. - Dr. Charles Stanford

There are many early risers mentioned in the bible. These men of God found solutions to life's problems by directing their prayers to the One who would hear and assist them in their endeavors for the day. Before the day began they received the confidence necessary to shoulder responsiblities.

Abraham rose early in the morning to stand before the Lord(Gen. 19:27). Jacob rose early in the morning, to worship the Lord (Gen. 28:18). Moses rose early to build an altar to God.(Exod. 24:4). and to meet God at Sinai (Exod. 34:4). Hannah and Elkanah rose early to worship God (1 Sam. 1:19).

Every morning lean thine arm awhile upon the window sill of heaven,

And gaze upon thy God. Then with the vision in thy heart, Turn strong to meet thy day. - Unknown
