Free Yourself

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Psalm 143:8


The first thing that David did in the morning was look for a word from God. Why, because David trusted God with his life. David lived a good portion of his life with many uncertainties, a king with an entire army was chasing him, David fought many battles and he carried the weight of an entire kingdom. God's direction for David's life was was of upmost importance that's why it was the first thing he looked for.

Ever notice that in the morning you senses to the little things are just a little better? Example people read the newspaper in the morning? Eating breakfast at the table you read the outside of the cereal box even the boring stuff trying to sound out the long names of the preservatives. You stay in bed on Saturday morning just a little longer and watching TV you watch shows that you would never watch. One time I was watching a filipino channel but it totally had my attention. There's something about the morning that allows for our best thinking, our attention is fixed, we come to conclusions much easier. Wanna know why? Because the day is not yet completely started. The weight of agendas, problem solving and traffic haven't effected a person yet our minds are free. Wouldn't it be great to have clarity and thinking and direction this liberating all the time? Why is it that some people struggle to dream they aren't free? How is it that I can take a nap and still not feel not feel rested, not free? Why are energy drinks so popular now a days, people are not free. There's a lot not just on folks plates, but on their hearts, on their minds they live life shackled by work, problems, busyness and a desire for temporary results. I have found an incredible freedom in my life, in my heart, in my mind when I start the day with journaling, worship and the presence of God. I accomplish more, I see things differently, results are better when I start with my mind on Christ and His direction first above everything else. Isn't that what Jesus said..."the truth will set you free?" When you are truly free a whole new life opens up, a life that so many miss, a life that so many are desperately looking for. Start with the word, with God's presence, allow Christ and His direction to be the first thing on your mind...Free yourself!
