I mentioned a few days ago that this
year I’ve started doing my devotions first thing in the morning. This is new
for me, as I’ve never really been known as a deep lover of mornings, so I’ve
always waited until evening, when I’m coherent, to study the Bible.
This
week I’ve been paying extra close attention to what I’m reading in that study
every single morning. It seems like every passage is perfectly suited for what
the days end up bringing. The week hasn’t been bad, but it has been saturated with
many things and lots of opportunities to grow my character and shape my
attitude.
I
haven’t done it perfectly. I’ve let things get under my skin that I shouldn’t
have. I’ve struggled with fears and worries. But I’ve also been very aware of
how intricately He designs even the lessons He wants His children (including me!)
to learn. What a gift to think that He knows exactly what challenges my day
will bring and He takes time to make sure each day starts with the lessons I
need to hear to be equipped for the day to come.
Though
I can be a dreadfully slow learner, I’ve been trying to be diligent to do my
part and truly hear what He has for me. To pay attention to it and think about
it throughout the day. To learn and apply the lessons at hand.
My
thoughts are short on this Sunday, but I gently encourage you to keep your eyes
open to what He has for you, too!
