There are mornings that we just get off to a late start. There can be many a reasons this happens but it is really beside the point and not worth dwelling on right now. When this happens it is so tempting and I am guilty of it, to skip the morning devotional, time with the Lord, to get to the "more important things". I was tempted to do this this morning after I realized the time and all of the things that were on my to do list for the day but I realized that I was being tempted to skip over the truly most important lesson  of them all... he was very subtle this morning when he suggested I get straight to our First Language Lessons, Horizons and Spelling Workout... his poisen was almost injected into our day diminishing God's presence.

Here is what we didn't skip over this morning:

Romans 12:9-10 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Psalm 119:103  How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Oh, how he would have loved for us to miss these wonderful reflections on God's word! Abhor what is evil... we forget sometimes that there is a spiritual battle going on constantly even in the little things such as how we begin our day or our homeschool lessons. I truly enjoy our morning devotionals, where we sit in the presence of our King and are reminded of our purpose and how we are to live our lives for His glory, to worship Him and give Him all the praise that He so deserves, to remember His grace and His steadfast love, hmm good stuff... don't skip it. His words are sweeter than honey...
