Monday sun is barely up, but the promise in this verse never sleeps: love shows up for those who show up first. Pour the coffee, open your eyes wide, and come looking for the One who's already looking for you.
"I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me." — Proverbs 8:17 (KJV)
This morning's prayer Lord, I come to You before the noise starts. You said You love those who love You, and that those who seek You early will find You — so here I am, seeking. Meet me in this quiet room before the day gets loud. Steady my heart to want You more than my phone, my plans, my worries. I carry today the families still searching through rubble after the earthquakes, and those watching wildfire smoke roll toward their homes — hold them close, send rescue and rest. Teach me to seek You first in every hour, so that whatever this Monday brings, I've already found the thing that matters most. Amen.
