Something a good church friend told me a few years ago has lingered with me: “When I start my day in the Bible, the whole day goes better.” I’ve experienced that truth myself.

Fill yourself with HIM in the morning, and you’ll have a ready Source of comfort, peace, and discernment to carry you through the day.
