We all need to allow the Spirit to rest on us...the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:2 Friday comes and everyone plans big weekends and often times it means more running around on top of their already jam packed weekdays at work. Where does that leave you time to rest?Rejuvenate? Refresh? Renew? Do you etch out time just for yourself with God? Just to be still in Him, removing all distractions of your busy life? How do you start your day? Is it with praise and thanksgiving or with grumbling and complaining? Or worst yet are you so busy God does not even enter your mind in the morning? I ask out of love, not condemnation or judging...to self examine oneself is how we grow closer to God and become a more mature child of God. Through this, we become better witnesses and can share a more powerful testimony. The Lord is amazing because every facet has a purpose and value. We are all called to share God with others. In order to do that, we must be led by the Spirit and not by our own desires. I challenge you to start each day on your knees, with a simple prayer like this
"Lord, thank you for all the blessings you have given me and for the love you have shown me. Thank you for all you have done and I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I give you this precious day and I ask that you lead me as I go through it, speak through me today , and I ask to be used today. I love you and I am so eternally grateful to call you my Father. It is in Jesus name, I pray. Amen."
It takes 5 minutes and watch your life transform. You will start your day calmer, happier and more at peace. And people will be drawn to you. So start your day with God and start today!
