"The Morning Watch in the Life of Obedience"

The superficiality and weakness of our religion and religious work all comes from having so little real contact with God. If it is true that God alone is the fountain of all love and good and happiness, and that to have as much as possible of His presence and His fellowship, of His will and His service, is our truest and highest happiness, surely then to meet Himself alone in the morning watch ought to be our first care.

If our daily life is to be full of God, how much more the morning hour, where the life of the day alone can have God's seal stamped upon it.
