Good Morning!! Stress is pressure applied, or perceived,...and it was designed to keep us out of harms way. But I'm afraid now it's become common place. Most of us have been in a sink-or-swim mode for so long, that we've accepted it as normal. More than once, I’ve joked that all Sheila and I do, is go to work, or come home to work. There is always so much going on with family and jobs, that we find ourselves exhausted. The funny thing is we all work so hard, to simply be able to relax and enjoy ourselves. We’ve all heard, or read, dozens of encouraging bits about waking up early to start the day with God.
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.—Psalm 90:14 (NIV)
The truth is, I don’t usually wake up wanting to praise the Lord,...there have been many mornings when I’ve rolled over looked at the clock, and moaned or grumbled. But lately, though, a quiet voice has reminded me that the "dis-pleasure" is in my own attitude,...in how I've chosen, to face the day. That voice doesn’t come from Christian inspirational reading, it comes from a Holy Spirit that reminds me from time to time, what the morning means,...new mercy, straight from the Lord. There is an order to things,...and starting your day with God, should always be "thing one".
Stress is a gift from God to keep you safe,...but the devil often uses it as a stick, to beat us with.
Sweet Spirit of God, we thank You for reminding us to take a moment to pause, at the start of each day, to rejoice that the Lord has made us new creations,...like the morning. Praise Him, Amen.
"Small minds find faults,...great minds find solutions."
