*”My oh my, what a wonderful day!”
As a morning person, I can’t wait to rise early to meet with the Lord.
As He floods the eyes of my heart!
Anxiousness, stirred on by pure joy and gladness while anticipating the Lord’s still small voice. To be assured, daily, of the hope to which he has called me as he gently whispers to my heart, deeply expressing his matchless, great, and profound love. *As he floods the eyes of my heart with his light, it gives me every opportunity to start my day praising him and to know the richness of his glorious inheritance promised to all who believe.
For me, more lessons have been learned in the unteaching moments. Forcing me to step back, way back, to redirect my steps anew. To change habits, excuses or motives acquired in past years, to not follow through.
*But seek, first of all, His Kingdom and righteousness…
What are your mornings like? Are they rushed, hurried, or sluggish? When you awake are you mentally checking off the items of things to do throughout your day with anxiety?
Or, are you anxiously waiting for a new start, a new attitude, or refreshed heart?
A dear friend sent the following when she found out what I was doing. I embraced it with great excitement and have it at my bedside as a wonderful reminder.
“With the earliest birds, I will make one more singer in the great concert hall of God. I will not want or rest, or a longer time to myself to consider all my troubles. I will give my best time, the first hour of the day, to the praise of my God.” – Charles H. Spurgeon
I used to wake my kids with the song Rise and Shine Give God the Glory. Often, they did not greet me with the same joy and excitement to start their new day.
However, I learned they are now singing the same song to my grand kids. That, makes me happy! Let’s hope, as adults, we have not forgotten how to come to the Lord with a childlike faith.
Even in adverse situations, there are opportunities to sing praises to God.
Tomorrow, start early to set the pace to have a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah day!
