I Met God in the Morning

I'm leading a fantastic mothers' Bible study right now-The Power of a Positive Mom by Karol Ladd.  I love this poem she includes in her "Women of Prayer" chapter.  Just wanted to share! 

The Secret

~by Ralph S. Cushman~

I met God in the morning

When the day was at its best,

And His presence came like sunrise

Like a glory within my breast.

All day long the presence lingered,

All day long He stayed with me;

And we sailed in perfect calmness

O'er a very troubled sea.

Other ships were blown and battered,

Other ships were sore distressed;

But the winds that seemed to drive them

Brought to us a peace and rest.

Then I thought of other mornings,

With a keen remorse of mind,

When I too had loosed the moorings,

With His presence left behind.

So I think I know the secret

Learned from many a troubled way,

You must seek God in the morning

If you want Him through the day.

Love it!!!
