” THIS GOOD NEWS TELLS US HOW GOD MAKES US RIGHT IN HIS SIGHT. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED FROM START TO FINISH BY FAITH. AS THE SCRIPTURES SAY, ‘ IT IS THROUGH FAITH THAT A RIGHTEOUS PERSON HAS LIFE.’ ” ROMANS 1:17
Faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is where it all starts. Without complete faith in him, in his actions and in his promises, I have no future and no hope. I have found that the stronger my faith is in his purpose the more trust I have gained in what my Lord God can do in my life. When I awake each day, I thank the Lord for what he has accomplished in my life. I acknowledge him first and foremost to begin my day. It is like having a good breakfast to get my body ready for the day. It needs nourishment and refueling every morning. My Spirit is no different. It needs nourishment and refueling each day. My Spirit needs to be refreshed with God’s Word. It needs to be surrounded with the promises from and praises for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The first thing I need to do is talk with him each morning by praising him and praying to him. I meditate upon his word and listen carefully to his Holy Spirit for instructions for my day. In my life he has to be first in every aspect of what I do. He helps me to keep the faith that I have and to build more faith as I go out into the world each day. Every moment in my life is capable of bringing surprises. Some are good and some are not so good. However, by beginning my day at the Lord’s breakfast table prepares me for whatever those surprises are. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
