Key Scripture: "And God
said, "Let there be light, and there was light." Genesis 1:3
Power Point:
Each morning as I wake up and open my IPAD to begin journaling, I
find a blank "piece of paper" waiting for me to open it. It says, "Create Document". After I decide I want to CREATE something
new, I have to press BLANK Document. Finally the screen opens up beautifully
clear, simply waiting for whatever information I want to write on it.
The
document is mine to create. The words I
write are my own invention. The IPAD is
blank until I fill it. I get to choose
what goes on to my blank document.
Our
lives are like that aren't they? Each
morning we have a blank space in front of us that is waiting to be filled with
what we choose to put there. Perhaps
your words this morning were, "Oh man, I am SO tired! I don't know how I will make it through this
day!" Maybe that was your first thought but instead of speaking it
out, you filled the blank space with "Wow Lord! I need some help getting my engine running
today. Thank You that You always strengthen me even when I haven't had
enough sleep. Thank You that I can
choose to stir that up in me today."
A few
years ago, in my morning quiet time I was tired, thinking about
yesterday's mistakes and wondering how I would get through the day.
The Lord said, "Suzanne, you have fresh
snow to walk on today. You do not have to bring in the dirty snow
you made tracks in yesterday into your today." I love the picture of a fresh
start in fresh snow-not just every day but every moment of every day.
If
you got up on the wrong side of the bed-congratulations! You can jump back in and start over! Stir up the
gifts that are in you. You have the opportunity for a
heavenly "do-over". You get go back to thoughts about who you are,
and Whose you are, and create a whole new plan for today; a peaceful plan, a good plan-much better than the one you created when you woke up.
If
God spoke "Light" and created something new, so can YOU! You might just say, "Let there be Light!", and He will come.
Those
first thoughts, those first words, will create your document for living
today. They are critical to your
success. Tomorrow you will be reading
what you wrote today. Why not
"choose Life", "speak Life", and "live Life" to
it fullest?
His words in your heart and in your mouth will
create heaven on earth for you.
Power Thought:
What did you say? It's on the way!
