START THE DAY RIGHT

Psalm 90:14 Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.

I was given a pair of socks for my birthday and here’s the label that said “start your day right”! I thought how those words can apply to all of us, even if  you don’t have the socks.🤣 How we begin our day tends to set the tone for what follows afterwards so it would be good to get it off to a good start.

We know God loves us but it would lift our spirits if we remind ourselves of it every morning, so we go out secure in His love and the knowledge that He is caring for and protecting us. Go out with a picture in our minds of Jesus walking beside us with His loving arm round our shoulders.

The Psalmist decided he was going to sing for joy every morning and that’s a good idea too. Now you may not be a ‘morning’ person but even so it will still go better when we start with a cheerful attitude knowing God is for us and He has given us His favour and grace for whatever we have to do that day, all because of Jesus. There was an old song which said “Give a little whistle” and sometimes that’s all it takes to make us smile!😊

God says to ask Him for His help and His wisdom because He knows we’ll need it and it’s wiser to ask for it before we need it, than wait till we’re in the thick of it! And if we read His word first thing then we give Him the opportunity to speak to us too. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet, and a light for my path.

So when you wake up every morning as you put on your socks, or whatever, just think about starting your day right with the God who unfailingly loves you, and give a little whistle, it might just lead you to burst into a joyful song of praise.😊

Psalm 59:16 But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.

Have a blessed weekend everybody.x
