Josh. 3:1• 1And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. (Josh. 3:1)
;
2 Chron. 36:15• 15And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: (2 Chron. 36:15)
;
Psa. 119:147‑148• 147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

Luke 12:42• 42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? (Luke 12:42)
• (Vau) Slothfulness she shames by her early rising, even before the first beams of the sun begin to light the horizon. In Syria, the women are up long before the dawn to prepare the morning meal, “grinding at the mill,” according to our Saviour’s description, in order that the men may go forth early to labor, and thus be enabled to rest during the sultry part of the day. It is only love that can render service like this sweet and delightful. Where that is lacking, it must be the veriest drudgery. So Paul could write of himself and his fellow-laborers as bondservants of Jesus Christ. This should be the Church’s happiness—to serve the living and true God, while waiting with eager expectancy for His Son from heaven. (“Proverbs Thirty-One” by H.A. Ironside)
