“The moment you wake up each
morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals.
And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to
that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger,
stronger quieter life come flowing in.” C. S. Lewis
Is this true for you as you rise each morning? I know at times it is true for me - all my wishes and hopes
for the day rush at me like wild animals. And this is especially true for me during
the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons when my list for the day is even longer!
Do you know what I have found
and I am sure you have found this too - nothing gives our day more completeness, fulfillment and joy than when we talk to our heavenly Father in prayer and
listen to Him when we open up His Holy Word.
I admit to you that there are
mornings that everything in me wants to grab my purse and run out the door to
accomplish a wish or hope I have for the day. But when I shove all those
desires back and take the time to listen to that other voice, taking that other
point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger quieter life come flowing
in, I never regret it as I am embraced by the arms of the Almighty!
I believe God’s heart of love
says to His children, “Spend time with Me, My love, I desire to give you peace
and strength and hope and encouragement and guidance for your day.”
With great anticipation, let’s
press towards the goal of letting God quiet our soul and let's sit down, open up the Word of God and enjoy the fellowship with our King!
“I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great
treasure.” Psalm 11:162
