The Best Part of Waking Up

The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears, and I have not been rebellious; I have not drawn back.
Isaiah 50:4-5

Each new day is a gift from God, and if we are wise, we will spend a few quiet moments each morning thanking the Giver of all things good. When we begin each day with heads bowed and hearts lifted, we remind ourselves of God's love, His protection, and His will. And if we are wise, we align our priorities for the coming day with the teachings and commandments that God has given us through His Holy Word. The path to spiritual maturity unfolds day by day. Each day offers the opportunity to worship God, to ignore God, or to rebel against God. When we worship Him with our prayers, our words, our thoughts and our actions, we are blessed by the richness of our relationship with our Heavenly Father. But if we ignore God altogether or intentionally rebel against His will, we rob ourselves of His blessings.

Are you seeking to change some aspect of your life? Do you seek to improve the condition of your spiritual, physical, emotional, or financial health? If so, ask for God's help because today offers yet another opportunity for spiritual growth.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You for this new day that you have blessed me with and the opportunities that lay ahead of me. I pray that You would open my eyes to see where You are at work in my life and in the world around me. Open my ears so I can listen and learn from You. Guide my by Your Holy Spirit that I can be the developing disciple of Jesus Christ that You desire. I pray this in Jesus' Name, Amen
