Devotion:
Solomon Ray’s Jesus and My Coffee paints a simple yet powerful truth: starting the day with Jesus sets the tone for everything that follows. Just as coffee awakens the body, His presence awakens the soul with peace, joy, and strength.
When we begin our mornings by seeking Him, we are reminded that everything is going to be okay—not because of our circumstances, but because of His promises. He is faithful to make a way, even when the path seems unclear. Today, let your first thought be of Him, and watch how His presence transforms your day.

1. How can you make seeking Jesus a consistent part of your morning routine?
2. What difference does it make when you start your day with His presence?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being the best part of my day. As I rise each morning, let Your love awaken my heart and Your Spirit guide my steps. I trust that everything will be okay because You will make a way. Amen.
Action steps:
1. Begin your morning with a prayer before anything else.
2. Say aloud: “Jesus, You are what I need to start my day.”

Starting your day with Jesus brings peace, hope, and the assurance that He will make a way.
