August 21st Blessing: Start Our Day with God Prepared

Fruit of Faithfulness

The blessing of the day is that we can start our day with God. We have the choice to become world changers by our act of starting our day with Him.  God will allow us to get an inside scoop of what the day will be. We can set the tone of the day by acknowledging Him. When we address God first in the morning when we rise, we are telling God that we want to partner with Him. He is our boss, our commander in chief and we are coming to Him for instructions. These instructions can save our lives. It can even start something great that will last throughout eternity. 

Dedicating ourselves to God each morning like David did in Ps 25:1 states, “Unto you, Lord, do I bring my life.” Lifting up our hands every morning to the Lord and telling Him, “Here I am.”  Lord show me my assignment, show me what to do, show me where to go? Give me the words to speak. When we ask God for wisdom and guidance, that is an act of surrender. When we acknowledge God in all of our ways, He will direct our path. Ask God first and ask him for wisdom and be humble to hear and to follow his directions.

Rising every morning and acknowledging God requires the fruit of faithfulness. Are we going to be faithful to the Lord? He is committed to us. He has provided salvation. That is wholeness, peace, and joy. Lady Wisdom speaks in Proverbs and says, "When will you wake up?" (Proverbs 6:9 TLB). We can wake up and be wise. God has blessings with our name on it, but it requires that we consult God first. Our nuggets of gold will come in many ways, but if you are not looking for them, then it will be easy to miss them. 

We actually have the advantage when we consult with God. He knows what is in the future and He can give us the upper hand in every situation. The benefits of starting the day with God is that first, We do not have to be upset about everything. We can be calm and relaxed because we know that it is not us who is directing our day. We have a boss, and his name is Jesus. The buck stops with Him. He has the final say.

When we develop the routine of rising early each day, second, we can handle the demanding tasks with a clear mindset. Focused, we’re ready to strategize. We can clearly think through our plans and come up with action steps and review our resources. We can also take inventory of what is needed to accomplish the goals for the day. We are prepared. Being attentive and watchful can prevent many unnecessary things from happening. We are alert to the dangers ahead. This advantage allows us to avoid the pitfalls and to move with confidence towards the goal.

God will open doors for you. He will bring you to people who need your blessing and happiness. You will be planting seeds of joy because you will already know what the end result will be. To live a stress-free life is to put God first in your morning routine. Starting your day with God will make you a winner with transformational results giving you the advantage. Your impact on humanity will give God glory because of your faithfulness and reverence for Him.

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-...

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh...

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein...
