First Thing First

I have realized that when I woke up in the morning I reached for two things first. The coffee cup and the computer. In a mad rush to see the news headlines and find out what friends were up to on Facebook, I was neglecting the most important part of my day. Some might say "Well you had your coffee!" I was neglecting to spend time with my God first thing in the morning. I have realized that speaking with Him and opening his word are necessary for me to have a complete day. Sure I did these things at some point, but when I start the day this way it seems to make the day better. I feel it is because I am recognizing God first in my life for the day. It reminds me that I am weak and he is strong, that, just as David realized, I can not handle situations without him, and that I am not alone in this world. I encourage you to wake in the morning with God and see where he takes you during the day.
