Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you. ~Psalm 9:10 (NLT)
Here is a thought to ponder in light of last week's post. Everyone has different sleep patterns, but for the majority of us, the day is often represented by how we feel in the morning after waking up. The night before usually greatly affects the day ahead, both in physical strength and mental stability. God wants to fill our minds for the expanse of the entire day, because whenever he is not filling us, our minds are being occupied with other, less important things. One of the most solid ways to reach that goal of preparing yourself for a day that is productive and can be endured, no matter what, is to kneel before the Lord prior to anything else during your day. In this way we can imprint a renewed awe onto our minds, acting as a picture of the strength and magnificence that God provides and as something that will last as long as it is held tightly to. God gives a persistent spirit to those who search him out on it, and he can and will be everything you need to get by, even during the hardest of times. The ONLY thing that ever keeps us back from such a 24-7 lifestyle is our complacent spirit and forgetful attitude--when we dedicate our early hours to things of lesser value than our true deliverer. God is ever consistent; and considering that we are not, he will always be the best option we have to look forward to.
"Those who kneel before God can stand before anyone." ~Lecrae
