Morning by Morning: A Daily Devotional Guide

By Clara "Sister" Payne

Over a period of several years I have kept journals during my early morning quiet times with the Lord. This book is a compilation of the devotionals given to me during these daily times of communion-praying and listening for His voice.I was born again in January 1971 after a series of tragedies in my life. In a period of 20 months I lost my dear sister-in-law, my adored mother and father, and my beloved husband who was only 39 years of age-leaving me with two teenage daughters. The Lord was gracious and gave me back more than double for all I had lost: another fantastic husband and five more precious children.With reluctant obedience I began my early morning devotional times. I wish I could say that it was easy and that I loved it at once. In truth it was very hard for me and it was some years before it became the best part of my day and before I began to look forward to it with eagerness. I admit there are still times when it is hard for me to jump up when the alarm goes off, but I now know the many blessings I receive far out weigh the temporary inconvenience.This is not a book to read all at one sitting but to read daily just as the Lord gave each devotional to me. There will be some that were written when I was a very new Christian, but it seems to me that they have not changed content very much through all these almost 34 years of being a disciple of Christ. Many of the lessons learned have been taught to me by my precious family that you will meet as you take this journey "morning by morning" with me.My prayer is for all those who read these words of mine to be greatly blessed and inspired to a deeper walk with Jesus and a greater hunger and thirst for the Word of God.
