ALL YOU NEED IS THE PRESENCE OF GOD

It is in vain for you to rise up early the psalmist does not here say that it is improper to rise up early; or their could be no advantage of it; or that people would be more likely to be successful in their undertaking if they didn't rise early. But, that, altbough this was done, they would be still, aithough together dependend to God. Mere early rising, without his blessing, would not secure what they hope to accomplish, for everything is in the hand of God. Health, strength, clearness of mind, and success, are all under his control. And though early rising may tend to produce all of these- as it does in fact- yet still people are not the less dependent on God for success. To sit up late - that you may labor or study. Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here."  It is possible to experience success and yet be void of God's Presence. If success is what is important to you, you may be tempted to choose accomplishments over your relationship with God. God offered to send an angel with the Israelites as they entered the promised land to ensure their success in every venture. No army could withstand them. No city wall could stop it. The wealth of the land lay before them. Everything they had ever dreamed of appeared to be theirs for the taking. The only thing missing would be the presence of God. God said they were an obstinate people, and He would not go with them when their hearts were far from Him. Let us read is account of (Matthew 3:1-6). The Israelites came to Jordan in faith having been told that they should pass it in the way of duty, Let us proceed as far as we can, and depend on the Lord. Joshua led them particular. Notice is taken of his early rising as afterward, upon others occasion
Which show little he sought his own ease, those who would bring great thing to pass. Must rise early, love not sleep lest Thou come in poverty. Let me explain in my side. I rise up early to pray,  i go to my work to avoid traffic, i always go ahead of time at work that i can finished accomplished more work not being overloaded of my work schedule i found that there is joy. And it became a life style for me. This type of circumstances i called it The Battle of within us. In his letter to Christians in Galatia, Paul tried to get them to understand the inner conflict that all who belong to Christ will experience between "the flesh" (our sinful human nature), and the Holy Spirit who lived within us. (Galatians 5:17)
Because our self-centered nature wants it own way, it fights the Law of the kingdom within us. So we often end up doing our will rather the kingdom we suppose to be doing. He said "Walk in the Spirit"
