       Devotional time sometimes gets moved around for us because we do not want to become legalistic in our lives. There is the feeling, “I don’t have to do my devotional time in the morning. I’ll do it later. I’m too tired to do it!” And that is true. We don’t have to have our devotional time in the morning. I have found, however, that any day I haven’t, that day seems to go by in an aimless direction, like a dog let outside without a leash or, as it was said of old, a group of sheep without its shepherd. I like to have morning devotional time for a couple of reasons. For one, it sets my mind in the right direction for the day. Whether you read the Scriptures or read a good book focused on God things, on our character development, you are setting a structure for your mind for the day. You are working out your mind, much like the physical body is worked out in the exercise room or gym. We know our stomach needs food at some point after we wake up, well I think it’s also good to feed our mind something that will help it throughout the day.
