Seek Him First
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
I never expected to be as a juggler, yet that is exactly what I am. My days are spent balancing the needs of other, earning a living and doing all those daily, mundane things we all must do. I get so frazzled sometimes because no matter how much I do or how hard I try, it’s never enough. I’m never enough. And that brings on the guilt.
Fortunately, I’ve learned that when life gets to be too much I can run into the loving arms of my Heavenly Father. He centers my mind and soothes my heart. He provides guidance and insight and strength, no matter my circumstances. He prioritizes me life.
And I’ve learned to prioritize Him -- to get up early or stay up late, to turn the TV off or close the door. Time spent with God is more than sacred, it is my source of strength in a demanding world.
Dear Heavenly Father, open my heart and my mind to hear your voice, to know your will and to feel your love each day.
