Whenever you start your day, you need to start it with God And you need to do some things on purpose you need to make a decision This is the day the Lord has made. I will enjoy this day Make an announcement to the devil who is the joy thief. I will enjoy this day I'm putting on my righteousness I know who I am in Christ I'm putting on my peace Jesus gave me peace.
I'm not going to get upset today. If I don't get my way about everything If getting things right with God first thing when you get up whenever your morning is If it wasn't important than it wouldn't say it all over the Bible Get up early in the morning and take care of the hard tasks get them out of the way first Don't let some job you have to do threaten you all day and make you dread the day David got up early the day he killed Goliath come on. You're not going to kill your Giants laying in bed hitting the snooze button I think every morning we need to dedicate ourselves to God let's look at Psalm 25 verse 1 Unto you O Lord do I bring my life plain and simple I get that Psalm out very frequently and read it I love Psalm 25:1 unto you O Lord do I bring my life It's a great thing to do every morning just Sit or stand or kneel or whatever you're comfortable and just lift up your hands and say here I am Lord I'm yours Every morning we have to go to Him and say, God show me my assignment Show me what to do, show me where to go, give me the words to speak Asking for wisdom, for guidance.
That's an act of surrender It takes humility to say God, you know what's best for me I can't do this on my own. I need your help Open the right doors, close the wrong doors, make the path clear The scripture says when you acknowledge God in all your ways. He will direct your path But too often we make our plans without consulting God Then we ask him to bless those plans We wonder why it's a struggle.
Why it feels like it's always uphill. We have it backwards We're making a move and then asking God for help the right way is to ask God first God what do you want me to do? Should I date this person?
Should I start this new project? Should I make this purchase? If you feel peace about it then move forward if not hold off knowing that God knows what's best for you.
When every morning you ask God for wisdom You are showing your dependence on Him When you humble yourself like that the scripture says God will exalt you. A lot of people these days They're too prideful think I don't need any help. I can do this on my own.
Joel look at how successful I am already Think about where you could be if you start acknowledging God. Think about the mistakes He could have saved you from Think about the opportunity, the favor, the doors You couldn't open, but God can open. Don't do it on your own that will limit you Set your mind every morning.
