Tea Practices for Morning Devotionals: Start Your Day with God

There’s something sacred about the stillness of the morning—the hush before the world wakes up, the gentle rise of the sun, and the promise of a brand-new day. This moment, when everything is quiet and undistracted, is the perfect time to draw near to God.

For the faithful woman of God, mornings should be more than just a rush to get ready for the day—they should be a sacred encounter with the Most High. And what better way to enter His presence than with a warm cup of our Tropicana Green Tea in hand? Our Tropicana Green Tea is a refreshing, tropical-inspired blend that brings clarity and calm to your morning devotionals. Rich in antioxidants, it gently energizes your body while helping you focus your heart on God. Start your day with purpose, peace, and the joy of the Lord in every sip.

Why Morning Matters: God Desires the First Fruits of Your Day

God is not just a part of our lives; He is our life. And when we give Him the first part of our day, we are declaring that He reigns over every aspect of our lives. 

In the Old Testament, we see the importance of offering the first fruits to God. During Old Testament times it was the first fruits of our harvest to submit to God but now he is seeking the firstfruits of our obedience and time.

“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.” – Proverbs 3:9

Your morning devotional time is your spiritual offering, the first fruit of your day. When you rise and come before the Lord with your heart open and your Bible in hand, you are giving God the best of you—not the leftovers after work, errands, or stress. It is in these moments that God speaks, strengthens, and prepares you for the day ahead.

Establishing a Sacred Morning Tea Practice

Creating a sacred morning routine doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs to be intentional. Tea is more than a beverage; it’s an act of stillness. The warm steam, the gentle sips, the soothing flavors—they all set the tone for a moment of peace and focus. When paired with scripture and prayer, tea becomes a companion to your devotion.

Here’s how you can create a simple, powerful morning tea devotional ritual:

1. Prepare Your Heart the Night Before
Lay out your Bible, journal, pen, and your tea essentials before going to bed. Choose your favorite mug and prepare your Tropicana Green Tea, so everything is ready in the morning. Anticipation sets the tone for consistency.

2. Wake Up and Invite God In
Before you scroll or talk to anyone, speak to God. Say something simple but powerful:
“Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.” – 1 Samuel 3:10

This opens your spirit to receive instruction and wisdom for the day.

3. Brew with Intention
As your tea steeps, reflect. As the water transforms with flavor, ask God to steep His Word into your heart.

4. Read with Purpose
Don’t rush. Choose a passage and meditate on it slowly. Focus on Old Testament scriptures that reveal God's promises, His character, and His expectations for His people.

“O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.” – Psalm 119:97

5. Journal Your Encounter
Write what God is showing you. Is there a warning? A promise? A direction? Journaling reinforces your memory and helps you track spiritual growth.

6. Pray with Boldness
Let your tea cool as you enter into a moment of intimate prayer. Pour out your concerns, your gratitude, your needs. Claim His promises with confidence.

Old Testament Scriptures to Meditate on During Morning Devotions

Let your mornings be guided by the powerful voice of God. Here are some Old Testament scriptures that speak boldly to the faithful:

“It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22–23

Start with gratitude. Each morning is proof of His mercy.

“Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” – Proverbs 16:3

Before answering emails or scheduling meetings, commit your day to Him. Let Him establish the path.

“But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” – Psalm 1:2

Begin and end your day anchored in His Word.

“In the morning, O Lord, shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” – Psalm 5:3

God expects to hear from you in the morning. Don’t leave Him waiting.

Fighting Morning Distractions with Devotion

The enemy knows the power of your mornings. Distractions, sleepiness, stress—they all try to steal that sacred time. But you must stand firm.

“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee.” – Deuteronomy 31:6

Start with a determined heart. Turn your phone face down. Light a candle. Pour your tea. And tell your soul: “This time belongs to God.”

Benefits of Starting Your Day with Tea and God

Mental Clarity: Tea sharpens focus. God gives wisdom. Together, they prepare you to make decisions with grace.

Spiritual Strength: Time with God before the demands of the world builds resilience.

Emotional Peace: His Word anchors your heart. His promises replace anxiety with assurance.

Productivity: When your soul is aligned, your work becomes effective.

The Voice of God Still Speaks

God hasn’t changed. His presence is still available in the quiet moments before dawn. When you pair your tea with time in His Word, you’re not just feeding your body—you’re nourishing your spirit.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord.” – Deuteronomy 8:3

Let your tea be a reminder each morning: just as your body needs nourishment, your spirit longs for the voice of God. Don’t deny it. Don't delay it. Lean into it.

A Cup of Tea, A Word from God

In conclusion, your devotional life doesn’t have to be rushed or routine. It can be powerful, focused, and deeply personal. As you sip your tea tomorrow morning, remember—this isn’t just a practice. It’s a divine appointment. You’re not alone. The Creator of heaven and earth is waiting to meet with you, whispering through His Word and strengthening you for the journey ahead.

Start tomorrow with purpose. Start it with prayer. Start it with tea—and start it with God.
