"Waking up is Hard to Do"
|
|
If you ever have had a hard waking up in the morning? I did this morning. It was raining and the wind was blowing. I wanted to snuggle back under the covers. But the reality of the day began to take over. I knew I had to get up. But, how would I go about it, and how would I take on the day?
Then the strangest thing happened. I heard voices in my room. No, my wife was fast asleep. It couldn't be her. I shook my head in an attempt at clearing away any left over cobwebs, but there they were again. I sat up and listened, and sure enough - the room was talking to me! It seems my room had advice on how to live my life:
The fan said ... Be cool!
The ceiling said ... Aim high today!
The window said ... See the world!
The clock said ... Every second counts!
The mirror said ... Reflect before you act!
The calendar said ... Be up-to-date today!
The door said ... Unlock your potential to reach your goals!
I thought about all that they had to say, and felt like burrowing back under the covers. So much to do! So much pressure. So many chances for failure! Then, I heard another voice, "Hey look down here!" So, I looked down, and...
The carpet said... Why don't you first kneel on me and pray!
So many voices in life. So much to do. Don't try doing it alone. First of all, ask Jesus to lead and guide you. Ask for His wisdom, and for spiritual eyes to see what really counts. Pray for His forgiveness and be confident in His eternal love and leading today!
Don't forget there's Homework:
+If you didn't begin today with Jesus. Do it now!
+Write yourself a note to remember to wake up tomorrow, and listen to the voice of Jesus in the midst of a rather noisy world!
Prayer Requests:
+Pray for a world that listens to the wrong voices, and pray the Lord leads you in His paths.
+Remember all who struggle finding their footing along the way. Ask God to help you be a light to them.
Jesus is our Hope!
