good morning

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my prayers before You and will look up.

- Psalm 5:3 (NLV)

Most of us have a routine in the mornings, and if that routine gets messed up, it sets the tone for the whole day.

This is true of me for sure, but here I am challenging myself to mess up my own routine.

Set your alarm 15 minutes earlier tonight, and when it goes off don’t hit snooze, but immediately turn your thoughts to God.

Talk to Him, tell Him good morning, and talk to Him about your plans for the day.

Look up, turn your eyes to heaven.

Here – just for you, a song reference:

Where are You now

When darkness seems to win?

Where are You now

When the world is crumbling?

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Where are You now (where are You?)

When all I feel is doubt?

Oh, where are You now

When I can't figure it out?

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Look up

You're not threatened by the war

You're not shaken by the storm

I know You're in control

Even in our suffering

Even when it can't be seen

I know You're in control

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

Look up child, ayy

Look up child, ayy

Look up child

I saw a coffee cup a while back that said “Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says, “Oh crap, she's up!”

If you focus on Him first thing in the morning – you can take on the day, just look up.
