"Good morning! Eyes wide open, it's time to get up and start your day. You recall I have said before, How you start will set the tone for the entire day. So lets get up and start well. And when you get up to dress, don't put on yesterdays raiment, this is a new day and requires a fresh new look. Here is a recipe I suggest for starting off right:
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (Philippians 4:8 NLT)
I have discovered that when I follow this instruction, my day gets started in the right direction, and once I'm headed in the right direction it saves having to back track to get back to where I should be in my day. Playing catch up all the time is tiring and will eventually cause you to dread getting out of bed.
Therefore, I suggest you get this right early on in life, so that you don't develop a bad routine that will cause you a great deal of pain. God's intentions for you is to take you to the highest place of living. Howbeit, lowly thinking will keep life at a very low place. Elevate your thought life just as the Bible instructs and it will prepare you for anything and you will never be pushed down in life." ~Dad~ |
