It is a new day-and God's mercy is new every morning.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made
Introduction
God wants you to enjoy your life. Jesus said, “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it over-flow)” (John
Listening to God each morning fills you with expectancy and favor for a better day, and those days add up to a better life. The Lord wants you to have Him clearly in sight in order to follow Him. He is willing to wake you in the morning and make your ear alert to His instruction. If you will seek Him with all your heart, He will renew your strength and make clear your path (see Isaiah 40:31; Proverbs 3:6).
I have written this book to remind you of the benefits of starting your day with God. It is not written to replace your personal time with Him, but simply to enhance it and to point you to your own daily encounter with Him so that you will enjoy every day of your life. He will teach you to balance out your extremes, gain self-control, and live in a way that has a positive impact on others. I encourage you to seek God early each morning and to wait on Him to write in your spirit, direction for the day. God will fill your heart with knowledge that will enlighten you at the right time. Once your experience the empowerment of beginning your day with God, you will never want to start your day without Him.
May this uplift your spirit and day.
Start Your Day Right
1/1
Psalm 94:18
Some people seem to start their day on the “wrong foot.” They feel all right when they wake up, but as soon as something goes wrong, they lose their footing and walk with a “loser’s limp” the rest of the day. Once they are off to a bad start, it seems the never catch up.
If someone offends us early in the morning, our anger can keep us defensive all day. If we start the day rushing, it seems we never slow down. But today our feet can be firmly planted in God’s Word. There will be no “bad day” when God’s Word supports, strengthens, and directs us.
Get Up and Get Going
1/2
Psalm 6:6, 8
Even before we are totally awake, Satan is bidding to deceive us and is ready to plant defeating thoughts in our mind. He wants us to be hopeless, faithless, and negative. He definitely doesn’t want us to be positive when we get up. He wants us to have a bad attitude and be selfish and self-centered, full of hatred, bitterness, resentment, doubt, unbelief, and fear - to be mad at everybody.
But thank God, through Jesus Christ, we have been redeemed from all of those negative patterns. We can resist the devil and trust God’s power in order to live victoriously today.
Keep in Touch with God
1/3
Psalm 1:1-2
Keep in touch with God today; stay tuned to His voice. You may have a plan for the day, but God may lead you in a totally different direction if you are sensitive to the Holy Ghost. Be brave enough to flow with what you feel in your heart God wants you to do.
Today is going to be a good day. Listen for the voice of God to lead you. Be determined to walk in the Spirit and stay in the flow of God’s leading today.
