HOW TO START YOUR DAY

By: Linda Kirby/WGON

Do you recall the old song, "What A Wonderful World?" Such a beautiful song -- the lyrics and melody are incredible. However, this world has turned dark and ugly. How can one get through it and remain intact? How can one face each day with a smile on their face? The only way is to start our day with Jesus. Before we open our eyes in the mornings, we should spend a couple of moments speaking with the One who will give us His peace. Once we’ve started our day with Jesus, we need to keep Him in our minds and hearts. "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7). “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee" (Isaiah 26:3). The Lord desires a relationship with us. He wants us to walk with Him every moment of every day — and the first step is to begin the day with Him. Mornings are hurried for most of us — but if we develop the habit of setting aside a few minutes to be alone with Jesus, we'll be glad we did.
