Do you have a craving in your heart for God and what He has for you in this life?
What is the thought you have when you wake up in the morning?
I have to admit that at times I more concerned with what I am going to eat in the morning when I first wake up. Lately when I get up in the morning my first thought is not about food but rather it is giving thanks to God for a brand new day. I thank the Father for giving me this new day to be with Him. Then I ask the Him to bless those that come to my mind in the morning as I pour cereal in my bowl. I have been reminded more often lately that I need to be in the Word more often than I do. Sometimes the Lord prompts me to read the word and pray at different times of the day. I have the choice to be obedient and stop what I want to do or need to do ie. chores around the apartment and spend time with Him. I have chance this coming weekend to spend a great deal of time with the Lord and with others. I plan on doing some preparation for a meeting that I will be leading on February 10 while the main hostess is out-of-town. I have begun to work on it and I already feel nervous about doing this meeting. I know that the Lord will be with me and that I have nothing to be nervous about but sometimes I do when I am speaking in front more mature or older women than I am. I find that I can speak better when I have it all written down. Sometimes the Lord can cause you to speak on something entirely different once you get to the meeting by His prompting of course. I am putting my thoughts together on what it means to “Live For God.” Perhaps I will share it later on this blog. There is a profound verse in the Psalms that has prompted me to be thankful for each day on this earth. It is found in Psalms 3:5 NASB I lay down and l slept; I awoke for the Lord sustains me. Whether one lives or dies is in the hand of the Lord. Our lives and times our not our own they belong to God alone. If we think we have a right to do as we please without consulting the maker of the universe we are sadly mistaken. Psalms 3:5 has taught me to rejoice every morning I wake up because it is another day to live this life for Him.
