For many folks, today Is the first day back
at school and work after the Christmas holidays. That means that you have to
get up earlier, dress differently and prepare for more than what you find to do
around the house. When we rush around and find ourselves behind, like I am this
morning, we may accidentally leave something behind that we needed. If I leave off earrings, it’s no big deal,
but there are other things that are very important, especially in the life of a
believer. For God’s children, we just
dress differently.
If we’re not prepared for the day, then we
won’t know how to behave, how to respond or how to walk. It’s really important for us to see what God
says about us, what God says about our day and what God says about our value
and our importance in this world we live in.
Have you checked in the mirror of God’s Word?
Are you about to run out of the house without getting fed? Are you thinking
that there’s just not time to sit quietly a moment? He wants to be with you to
fellowship and make your day start off right. He wants to guard your mind,
watch over your day and keep you safe throughout the week so that you will be
strong and courageous. He knows you are
thirsty and hungry and running on empty. And without spending time with Him you
will remain that way.
Oh beloved, You are of such incredible value
to the Lord! He is waiting to speak Truth and Love into your life. He says to you this morning, Don’t forget to
put on the Garment of Praise for the Spirit of heaviness! Just take a moment to praise God that you
woke up, got up and have somewhere to go to be a part of this great world He so
graciously created. He says to seek Him first,
so that all the things you need will be
added to you. He says to let Him love
you and speak sweet words of spiritual nourishment into your life. He knows that the days can be rough, the
obstacles can be many, but for the believer, and that’s you beloved, you who
have put your trust in His Holy Name, life can be wonderful no matter the
circumstances. It’s just that you can’t
leave God out and expect to have the blessings of Him! Without time spend with
the One Who loves you and knows you and has wonderful plans for you, you cannot
make it in this world.
Run to the Word – take just a bite if that’s
all you have time for! But know that that small morsel of spiritual food will
help your day go smoother, your heart beat stronger and your life feel
sweeter. Not only that, but that small
bite of the Word will cause you to desire a bigger helping tomorrow! And the
more you feed on His Word, beloved, the more you will know Him. And the more
you know Him the more you will love Him and live for the glory of His Name! You are loved by the One Who makes the sun
come up this morning! You are cared for by the One Who sets the stars in the
skies! Now that’s worth praising His name!
Romans 10:8 But what does it
say? “The
word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, NAS
James 1:5 If any of you lacks
wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to him.
Psalm 63:5 You satisfy me more
than the richest feast. I will praise You with songs of joy.
Romans 13:14 But
put on the Lord Jesus Christ…
