10 Scriptures to Meditate on During Your Morning Coffee

For the past month I have incorporated journaling back into my quiet time routine. For this season I am using it for prayers, heart checks, and a scripture vault of verses I am holding close too for daily life and for pregnancy/birth. It's been so life giving and a practice I didn't realize that I have missed.

I also know that not every season of life offers us time to just sit quietly and journal. Little feet who are supposed to be sleeping, get up early and need sweet snuggles. Perhaps mornings are already as early as they can get because of work or school schedules. Maybe it is just one of those mornings where it needs to be short and sweet. No matter where your quiet time is at, I hope that these verses give you some encouragement as you sip your favorite brew. May they also serve as a reminder that discipleship can happen even in the mess. Take these verses and make verse cards for your kitchen sink, invite those little ones to sit and read the verses with you. Ask them which one they like the best and why. Read one or two with your spouse before you head out the door to work. Starting our day with God's word even in small ways, can have such a meaningful kingdom impact on those around us and us as we navigate through the ordinary moments of life.

Our world gives so many reasons for our hearts to hurt, grieve, but even in this midst of those hard moments we can be reminded of God's truth. We can let it melt into us, like a healing balm. Whether you are facing hard life decisions. Struggling to trust God's goodness, wondering how this is going to work together for His glory, needing comfort for a hurting heart or just needing to draw close to your Heavenly Father who loves you so much more than you can imagine. His word holds verses for you.
