STARTING THE DAY WITH GOD

Read Psalm 5:1-12

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

~Psalm 5:3~

I used to begin my days by greeting family members. Then, as I would come in contact with other people, I would greet them. One day I wondered, What would happen in my relationships with those I care about if I didn’t acknowledge them? That made me realize that when I first wake up, God is there waiting for me. God deserves to be acknowledged, but what if I don’t acknowledge God?

I need God in my life every day, so I decided that when I first wake up and am still lying in bed, I would greet God. Many times, I thank God for a good night’s sleep, and sometimes I complain a little if it was not a good night. Each day, I acknowledge that God is first on my mind. Then I get up.

God deserves our attention, and I have discovered that when God is the first thought of my day, God becomes more important in my daily journey. All throughout the day, I remind myself that God is with me. When I seek God first, then the rest of my day is transformed.

Acknowledging God is my first offering of love each day.

Jesus is coming soon! Are you ready?

Seek Him now while He may be found!
