Do You Plow Right In?

 Some of us plow right in to our work each morning. We don't stop, to think, that we aren't centerered or focused yet. 

What do I mean? Well, when you start your day rushing to get dressed, get to work, and start your projects you are flying by the seat of your pants, so to speak.

But when you rise early in the morning, and sit down with the one person who can open doors for you throughout the day, you will become centered and focused. 

You see, God wants you to succeed. So by praying before you begin your work day you will probably have a better than average good day. By that you have brought to Him your concerns for the day, told Him of your projects that are weighing on your mind, and explaining to Him the help you feel you need. 

What does this do? It brings your focus to your God. Who loves you more than you can imagine. Who is in your corner waiting and willing to help you in all your endeavors. He wants to help you and will share with you things that will help you throughout your workday and will open doors for you. In partnership with God you will find your day flowing a great deal smoother than if you were on your own.

Commit your work to Him, ask Him to help you and then put your trust in Him to do just that. Also, ask God to establish your thoughts throughout the day bringing them in alignment with His will.

Father, we thank you for loving us so much that you are willing to help us each day with our thoughts, our plans, our work, and opening doors for us throughout the day when needed. Bless your Holy name. Amen.

The Ultimate Control

His Is The Ultimate Control

" And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding," Daniel 2:21

If we ever doubted God has ultimate control over everything, this verse reassures us He does. He has control over the seasons, changes time, removes kings (leaders), set up kings (leaders). He also gives wisdom to the wise, knowledge to them that know understanding. In other words, those that are discerning. His plans will ultimately prevail.

Lord, our God, you word assures us you have ultimate control, divine authority above all men. I pray you will have mercy on us today. Lord, we see the outside of men, and we judge them on what they say and what they do, especially if we do not agree with them. As wise as we think we are, obviously we do not have the priviledge to see their hearts like you do. So, we are asking you to remove the leaders in our country, in every area, that are not doing what you want them to do to help and protect our country and its people. Establish leaders who have the heart of God, so they will do what is right in your sight and for the people of our country. Give them the knowledge and wisdom to listen to your direction and leading.Have mercy on us.  Save our nation Lord. In Jesus name, Amen
