Oh Lord in the morning, you hear my voice in the morning
I prepare a sacrifice for you and
I watch
So let the first thing out of your mouth in the morning while you're still on the pillow
Let the first thing be a cry to God. I love you lord
I need you Lord help me Lord
That is the first cry out of my mouth in the morning. I need you again
today
Let me hear in the morning of your
steadfast love
For in you, I trust
Make me know the way I should go for to you I lift up my soul
How precious to me are your thoughts oh God I awake and I am still with you
Very few of us. Wake up with our whole Souls spring loaded to love God and love people.
I do think
the great commandment
Does set the agenda for our mornings and our midday and our evening
We are to love God with all of our heart soul mind strength when we wake up in the morning
And we are to prepare ourselves
to love our neighbor serve our neighbor as our
Selves and what we want in in the morning routine is to be filled with the holy spirit
We want something that gives us a zeal for the glory of Christ for the day's work. We want to be
strengthened to face whatever the day may
bring
Outside of God, you never gonna be happy outside of him
You never gonna have peace, but when he comes and comes and steps into your life, he's the Prince of Peace and he brings
Peace and suddenly you begin to see yourself the way that he sees you
That he loves you and that he has a wonderful plan for your life
And he says I know the plans I have for you say the Lord plans to prosper you plans not to harm you
Plans to give you hope and a future
And he wants to tell you I know there's an enemy out there that hates you and he wants to destroy you
But come hook up with me and I'll help you and I'm gonna help you
Take care of yourself
And I'm gonna help you deal with the enemy because I'm gonna give you the power to take care of
Everything that you need, you're not gonna live by yourself. You're gonna live with me. You're gonna follow me
You're gonna a bay me gonna do my purpose my plan for your life
The enemy has a plan, but you're opting out of his plan
You just say I opted out of your plan, and I'm hooking up with God's plan for my life
And Then know that he's already worked it all out
God's gone before you
Ten twenty years thirty years. If Jesus carry's he's gone before you he really knows the end from the beginning
he's gone before you to make the crooked paths straight
And he wants you to trust him with your life the times we get into problems is because we want to do it all we want
to get it all laid out. We want to bring I'm gonna do it my way
I don't want to listen to anything that God has and then we struggle and we spin our wheels
Well when we come to him and we surrender, okay, okay
I've tried it my way, but I'm gonna give myself to you you take over I'll go where you want me to go
I'll do what you want me to do. I'll say what you want me to say
I'll be what you want me to be not my will but thine be done
Then you yield yourself to him. You work for him. Somebody said who do you think you are? I'm a child of the king
I belong to God
Get up in the morning and invite good things into your life. I am blessed. I am strong. I am talented
I'm disciplined. I am focused. I am prosperous
Take what you have and make the most of it
God made you like you are on purpose he gave you your looks your height your skin color your nose your
personality
Nothing about you is by accident. You didn't get overlooked. You didn't get left out
God said in Ephesians you are my masterpiece
Instead of going around down on yourself feeling unattractive
Too tall too short not enough of this too much of that no dare to get up in the morning and say I am a
masterpiece I am created in the image of Almighty God.
I wonder what would happen if all through the day not in front of other people
but in privacy in the shower driving to work underneath our breath instead of being down on ourselves and
Discrediting who we are and focusing on all of our flaws
What would happen if we would be bold like David to say I am amazing
I am wonderful. I am valuable. I am a masterpiece. I am a child of the Most High God
You won't have that weak
Defeated I'm just average mentality
No
You'll carry yourself like a king like a queen not in pride not being better than somebody but with a quiet
confidence with a knowing that you've been
Handpicked by the creator of the universe and you have something amazing to offer this world
God is out always searching and looking for an army looking for a people that are tested and tried and
have proven him faithful
But you see God can't do anything where there is no faith where there is all doubt
Jesus couldn't do mighty miracles there because of their doubt and their unbelief
But you make a commitment to believe God
and not doubt him in any situation has to come a time when all the whys
Why God are gone
Until all those questions are gone
He said I have a loving father.
I stand here and rest boasting only in the Word of God and in His Holy Spirit
And he's been faithful to give rest and peace to my soul
God never gets tired, he's not
Frustrated he's not old and he's not confused and he's not trying to find answers to the problems
But God doesn't go to anybody else to ask anybody else
Because he has it all within himself isn't that awesome
He's on your side
He's for you. He's a big God an awesome God. He's a mighty God
Just worship Him just say
Monday morning. I'm just gonna worship you today I'm gonna worship you the whole day
I gonna worship you through lunch and into the evening and when I lie upon my bed
I'm gonna worship you and when I wake up Tuesday, I'm gonna worship you and then Wednesday I worship you this week
I'm a worship God. I'm a blessing
I will bless the Lord and give Him glory. Come on. I promise you everything will look different by next week. How big is God
How mighty is he. He's awesome
Hallelujah you can go to the highest star and he's there. You can go to the lowest Valley and he is there
And I want you to know that beyond anything else that the Lord is with you
He's with you. There's a lot of things I don't know. One thing I know the Lord is with me
And I know that he's on my side
He is for me not against me and he is with you
And he's for you and he's not against you
When you get up in the morning don't focus on all your flaws look in the mirror and dare to say I am beautiful
I am one of a kind I am
Handpicked by Almighty God I am valuable. I am a masterpiece
You are who God says you are
People may have tried to push you down and tell you what you can't become
Let that go in one ear and out
The other ear what somebody said about you doesn't determine your destiny. God does
You need to know not only what you are
But you need to know what you are not in other words
I am not who people say I am I am who God says I am I am not the tail
I am the head. I am not a borrower. I am a lender. I am not cursed I am blessed
Somebody may have spoken negative words over you even when you were younger
But know this before anyone could put a curse on you God put a blessing on you
Before you were formed in your mother's womb
God knew you and he approved you
When God made you he stepped back and said I like that that was good another masterpiece
He stamped his approval on you other people may try to disapprove you
Don't go around feeling less than feeling inferior
Our attitude should be I am approved by Almighty God. I am accepted
I am a masterpiece you may feel unqualified
But before you were born God equips you he empowered you you are not lacking anything
God has already stamped his approval on you
People may try to push you down, but when you know, God has approved you you realize I don't need other people's approval
I've been equipped empowered anointed by the creator of the universe
