30 Day's of Thanksgiving Day Four

Today is day four of my Thanksgiving Challenge.  It's late, but it will be nice and sweet.  I'm most thankful for the friends I have and that the Lord blessed our family with most amazing group of friends any one could ask. 

30 Day's of Thanksgiving Day Three

      One of the things I'm most thankful for today and every day is the Word of God.  There is nothing like curling up with the greatest love letter ever written and knowing that all the words contained within are more powerful than any military force on this planet.  I find so much strength and encouragement in the Bible and today I would like to share with you by favorite chapters.

Colossians Chapter One
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2. to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossea: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 
3. We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 
4.  having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have toward all saints, 
5. because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
6. which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
7. even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
8. who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9.  For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don't cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spirituality wisdom and understanding,
10. that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11. strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;
12. giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
13. who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;
14. in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;
15. who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16. For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.
17. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together. 
18. He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19. For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;
20. and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
21. You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, 
22. yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,
23. if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24. Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly;
25. of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God,
26. the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations.  But now it has been revealed to his saints,
27. to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
28. whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
29. for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

30 Day's of Thanksgiving Day Two

I am thankful for the blessing of being a mom.  The responsibility is overwhelming at times but the blessings are infinite.  No matter how hard it gets at times, at the end of the day when you see your little-once fast a sleep, safe and sound the feeling I get inside my heart is more then the words can explain.  Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with four kids and allowing me to be their mother.

30 DayS of Thanksgiving Day One

A friend of mine posted a challenge on her Facebook and I thought what a good idea. So here is my 30 Days of Thanksgiving

For some reason it's been kind of hard and frustrating the last few weeks.  With all the things going on in life, Home.... Work... Homeschool...Family...  It seems that it's never going to end and problems are piling up and up like a Hurricane Sandy in my life.  But despite of all that I'm thankful for the loving and helpfull man in my life. He is the most amazing person that I know, despite all of my frustrations he is taking care of me and has a way to turn things around.  I love you, my dear and loving husband of mine, and I'm thankful to God for giving me you in my life. It's a privilege to be your wife and serve you.

Adult Obesity Facts

Obesity is common, serious and costly

More than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) are obese.

No state has met the nation's Healthy People 2010 goal to lower obesity prevalence to 15%. The number of states with an obesity prevalence of 30% or more has increased to 12 states in 2010. In 2009, nine states had obesity rates of 30% or more. In 2000, no state had an obesity prevalence of 30% or more.
Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of death.

In 2008, medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion; the medical costs paid by third-party payors for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight.
Obesity prevalence varies across states and regions

During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States and rates remain high.

By state, obesity prevalence ranged from 21.0% in Colorado to 34.0% in Mississippi in 2010. No state had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. Thirty-six states had a prevalence of 25% or more; 12 of these states (Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia) had a prevalence of 30% or more.

Vibrant Eggs, Dyed Naturally

This time of year there are some pretty amazing craft-tastic ideas online and in magazines making it entirely possible to devote days to creating museum-quality oval. I prefer the less design and more rustic approach. After all, they're eggs you might be stashing somewhere in the lawn. And with a small child in the house, this is not a project likely to involve X-Acto knives and tiny electrical tape stencils. Easter is a reminder of fertility and abundance, so I say turn on the color and let loose.

Back in Russian we wore dyeing eggs with onion skins, which gives a pretty spectacular result, especially if you rub them with oil to add shine. This year I took the idea of coloring eggs with vegetable scraps a step further and creates a larger palette.

How To Make Vegetable-Dyed Eggs

Keep in mind the effect of the dyes varies depending on how concentrated the dye is, what color egg you use, and how long the eggs are immersed in the dye. .

Hard Boiled Eggs, room temperature, or white and brown eggs, preferably not super-fresh

• Purple Cabbage (makes blue on white eggs, green on brown eggs)
• Red Onion Skins (makes lavender or red)
• Yellow Onion Skins (makes orange on white eggs, rusty red on brown eggs)
• Ground Turmeric (makes yellow)
• Red Zinger Tea Bags (makes lavender)
• Beets (makes pink on white eggs, maroon on brown eggs)
• Oil (canola or olive)

Clean the eggs so there are no particles sticking to their shells.

To prepare a colored dye, first chop the cabbage, chip or peel away the dry skins from the onions, or shred the beets. In a stainless steel saucepan, boil enough water to generously cover the number of eggs you'll be dyeing. Add the dye matter and bring to a boil, turn heat down to low and simmer, covered, for 15-30 minutes. Dye is ready when it reaches a hue a few shades darker than you want for your egg. Examine a sample in a white dish. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature

Pour mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into another stainless saucepan, or into a bowl then back into the original pan if that's all you have. Stir in the vinegar. For the dyeing, it's best to use a pan with a flat bottom, like a Dutch oven, or a large jar as pictured above. Arrange the room-temperature eggs in the pan in one layer and carefully pour the cooled dye over them.

Place in refrigerator until desired color is reached. Massage in a little oil to each, then polish with a paper towel. Keep in refrigerator until time to eat (or hide.)

Note: You can also start with raw eggs and cook them in the dye bath.

My Home and Family

Women traditionally invested their time in the daily tasks that are necessary for keeping their household and family in orderly manner. Let's take a look at PROVERBS 31:10-31 and see how we are instructed to be "homemakers" (Greek ~ oikourgos ~ literally means homeworkers also in Titus 2:5)

Common Tasks:

• Drawing Water (Genesis 24:19,20,42,44)
• Making Clothing, Laundry (Proverbs 31:13; Acts 9:36 - 42)
• Preparing Food (Proverbs 31:21)
• Caring for Children (Proverbs 31:21)

Social Tasks:

Looking at Genesis 18:6 and 1Timothy 5:10)

• Offering Welcoming
• Offering Food
• Offering Rest
• Offering Hospitality

Spiritual Tasks:

Women have always played an important role in the spiritual nurturing of their children. We have to remember that we have to invest a lot of time in developing a nurturing skills even though it comes natural for most women. We have a unique role of influence and responsibly for instructing our children and guiding our children in the right direction.

• Shaping the spiritual values of children (Deuteronomy 6:7-9; Proverbs 31:21 and 2Timothy 1:3-5)
• Preparing for the Sabbath - filling the oil lamps, cooking special foods in advance of the Sabbath
• Praying for our children and family and lifting them up at all times

We have been sold a lie!

Ladies, those of you who work either because you want to or by circumstance have no other choice. We cannot have it all! When we attempt to have it all something or someone will suffer. Be honest enough to realize that work at home takes the higher place in your life.

Our home is more forgiving and thus more and more gets neglected. It takes a huge amount of time and energy to keep a house in tip top shape, feed our husbands and children with home cooked meals, and make sure your love and care is given to each and everyone of them.

Being home is a full time job! Their is no doubt about it! If you work outside of your home then you are working only part-time in your home. I often hear women say things like that a clean house is overrated and home cooked meals are not important. I know this because I gave that excuse to myself on multiple occasions. What I'm asking is that we do not contribute to spread this lie that you can work and have family without any loss. It doesn't mean that we cannot work, but we need to go into it with our eyes wide open. In my own case when I worked outside of home both my work and home suffered. I was split between the two and could not give a 100% at any place.

I'm not saying that we cannot work, just when we are faced with doing work outside our home we need to be aware of the fact that holding a job will require us to allow more hours than there are in a day to take care of our family the way we are instructed to. We will never be able to do both job fully and have success in both worlds.

When we are faced with the option of working consider this, God have instructed us to be helpers for our husbands and we have to take care our our home first and foremost. Their are a lot of opportunities that you can take, by working from home. Make sure you do your research first and beware there are a lot of scams out there. You can waste a lot of your energy and time and not earn a dime! Consult and talk with people that are close to you, to see if working from home is something that you could do.

Today I've read a very good post by a new friend of mine called Raising Daughters with an Entrepreneurial Spirit. Even if we are not entrepreneurial we need to learn how to be one and then turn around and teach our sons and daughters to be the same.

In any case, pray before you make that choice and ask for wisdom and guidance.

I WORK FOR A KING

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him." --Lydia Sherman

Can't sleep? Fix your sheets!

Tossing and turning, not getting the sleep you need? Well first try a few things that work like a charm!

Making your bed every day!

A survey of 1,500 people found that taking the time to neaten your bed in the a.m. makes you 19% more likely to sleep soundly than if you get into a messy bed that night.

Using a new detergent!

Pick one that has a fragrance you love. The same survey found that three in four of us enjoy a better night;s sleep when lying on sheets that have a pleasant aroma!

Take the family on a factory tour!

Summer is here!

And I'm sure that you want to do something fun with kids this summer. One of the things that I'll be doing is taking them to different factories. Summer is the perfect time to hop in the car and visit America's most popular factories! If you have boys and they love anything that is on wheels take them to Boeing, Mercedes or Harley Davidson factory. Going to a Dairy Factory should be fun for all. Just finish the visit with a tasting ice cream!!!

You can find a lot of information on all tours and find those closest to you if you visit FactoryToursUSA.com or pick up the book Watch it Made in the USA.

Wishing you and your family a summer filled with fun and unforgettable memories!

Never underestimate the power of prayer.

Can you pray for the ministry of others to prosper when it would cast yours in the shadows?

Beauty at Any Cost

The desire to be beautiful is an ageless longing… We desire to possess a beauty that is worth pursuing, worth fighting for, a beauty that is core to who we truly are. We want beauty that can be seen; beauty that can be felt; beauty that affects others…
—Stasi Eldredge

Today’s women are pursuing beauty at any cost. That’s the conclusion of a YWCA report on the consequences of America’s beauty obsession on women and girls. The report notes that American women now spend some $7 billion a year, or an average of about $100 per woman per month, on cosmetics and beauty products. Over five years, that adds up to a full year of tuition and fees at a public college. If a woman were to cut back the amount she spent on beauty products by half, and invest it into her retirement account for 10 years, she would save almost $10,000. And the money spent on cosmetic products per annum doesn’t even factor in cosmetic surgical procedures, of which there are over 10 million a year. The economics of the never-ending treadmill pursuit of beauty are staggering.

The health implications are also substantial. Over half of teenage girls use unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives. More than 80% of women overall are reported to be dissatisfied with their appearance, and almost 70% report that they are trying to lose weight. Research links a focus on physical and/or sexual attractiveness with three of the most common mental health problems of girls and women: eating disorders, low self-esteem, and depressed mood/depression.

The Beauty at Any Cost report notes that women’s interpersonal relationships are also being damaged by this relentless pursuit. Women are taught from a very young age to focus on physical and sexual attractiveness. So interpersonal problems based on issues of physical attributes and social status start young. The use of aggression and bullying has been on the rise, and “mean girls,” -those who display “relational aggression”- grow into adult women who exhibit the same behavior. These women are driven by the unhealthy belief that winning the “looks competition” will somehow get them the man, the career, or the self they desire.

The desire of women to look beautiful is not new. But according to YWCA Chief Executive, Dr. Lorraine Cole, what is new is the unrealistic standard of physical beauty which is relentlessly pushed on females, and the sheer extent to which women and girls are now willing to go to achieve this goal. She laments, “From new levels of spending on cosmetic alteration to health risks and to the emergence of a ‘mean girls’ culture, the lifelong burden of an unattainable beauty and body image is taking a terrible toll in all areas of women’s lives, from economic well-being to health to interpersonal relationships.”

What should we make of this obsessive desire of women to be beautiful? Is the pursuit of beauty wrong? I’m going to answer in a way that may surprise you: First, I would argue that the pursuit of beauty is good and right, and an integral part of our wiring, as women. It’s the way God made us. Second, I would contend that the problem is not that we pursue beauty too much, but that we don’t pursue it nearly enough.

When we consider the jaw-dropping picture painted by Scripture, it would seem that our Lord finds our desire for beauty not too strong, but too weak. We try to doll ourselves up with the earthly and the superficial and temporal, while the supernatural and eternal is offered us. “Like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased!” (to cite a favorite C.S. Lewis analogy).

It reminds me of the story that Jesus told about the pearl of great price. When a man discovered it in a field, he sold everything he had to purchase that field. When the pearl of great price caught his eye, all his other treasures seemed worthless in comparison. He joyfully gave them up to get the treasure whose beauty and value surpassed them all. But here’s the thing. Had he not caught a glimpse of the surpassing beauty of the pearl, he wouldn’t have been willing to part with his meager possessions. He couldn’t give up what was lesser until he caught sight of the greater. The reason women are so obsessed with cosmetics, creams, diets and tummy tucks, is that their hearts haven’t been gripped by a more compelling, more beautiful vision.

True womanhood-the womanhood of the Bible-is spectacularly beautiful; more beautiful than any perfectly proportioned airbrushed model in any fashion magazine. How do I know? Because it reflects the glory of God and the glory of the Gospel of Jesus Christ- and there’s nothing more beautiful than that. True womanhood, and what it represents, is so beautiful that the King of the Universe is enthralled by it (Psalm 45:11) and angels stare -amazed (1 Peter 1:12).

The Bible’s stunning vision of womanhood ought to captivate the heart of God’s daughters more than the glossy pages of the latest grocery store magazine. I hope that it attracts us so much, that we turn our attention from the earthly and superficial, and begin to pursue beauty - true beauty - at any cost.

Winalite's Business Opportunily

Winalite International's Business opportunity is unique in several ways. Its flagship product is so obviously superior, Winalite says when women see a demonstration, almost 100 percent of them have been purchasing. This allows Winalite distributors to earn $20 to $30 a case. Women use this product regularly each month. Therefore retail products can be like clockwork - very dependable. Baby diapers are used in even greater quantities during a baby's first tow years. Just imagine how much you will be able to earn selling Winalite Baby Diapers.

Product Introduction Bonuses (PIB) of $10 per initial set order are paid to the selling qualified distributor. The initial order is often for 1, 5, or12 sets. That allows distributors to earn a $10, $50 or $120 PIB. So just gather your female friends for a product demonstration and you could earn hundreds or even over a thousand dollars in retail profits and PIB's.

Multiplier Bonus (MB), a powerful new concept tin compensation structures.

Let me explain this unique compensation structure - twice

First in terms that inexperienced prospects and distributors in direct sales/network marketing can understand and the in terms that experienced distributors will relate to.

The MB commission structure allows you to recruit and hold up to five organizations that will go on your first level. Each of these five people will create what are called legs. They may also be placed under you by anyone above you in your upline. As your sales organization and resulting organizational sales volume grows earn an override based on sales from unlimited depth in your sales organization regardless in which country they were generated.

You earn 10% from the combination of the four smallest legs or weakest legs. The amount that you can earn is limited or capped based on your rank. There are four ranks and they are based on the various criteria. You can start at higher ranks by making higher initial sales and/or purchases. You can upgrade one rank within 28 days or earn op to two rank upgrades within 56 days. Even the Diamond rank is easy to qualify for, so first-time beginners in direct sales can achieve it.

Once qualified, you are paid on the sales volume from your four weakest legs and as much or whatever exists if the strong leg is less than the combined four week legs, you start accumulating sales volume again from your upline placing sales volume under your sales and the sales of your downline. If your strong leg has more volume that the combined volume from the weak legs, the difference is carried over to the next cycle. Commissions are paid weekly and qualifications are based on a 28-day cycle.

In network marketing industry terms, the MB is a five-leg binary structure. You get paid on the combined four weak legs, so there are two major advantages. First the combined four weak legs are likely to have a greater sales volume than the strong leg. This means in Winalite you can actually be paid on the greater portion of your sales volume instead of the lesser portion as in other binary structures. Second, in Many binary sales organization ,one leg sales volume runs away with a much higher sales volume than your one weak leg, you often never end up getting paid on a large portion of your sales volume. With four weak legs being matched against your strong leg that will seldom happen if at all. That means you can get paid more in Winalite because you get paid on more of the sales volume.

Leadership Bonuses (LB)

In many direct sales/network marketing companies Winalite Leadership Bonuses are called Matching Bonuses. Winalite pays on above-average 10% for three generations of sponsors according to the genealogy tree. This means you earn 10% of multiplier bonus on everyone you personally sponsor no matter where they fall in the organization. The more you sponsor the more generations of Leadership or Matching Bonuses you earn. You only have to sponsor five people personally to earn all three generations of 10% bonuses. That is each of those you sponsor and those they sponsor and those they sponsor. Five personally sponsored people are also achievable even for beginners.

Since you can sponsor an unlimited number of people and so can they, your Leadership Bonus three-generation genealogy becomes a three-level uni-level structure paying 10% per level. There are no caps on this portion of the comp plan, so there are no limits on how much you can earn in Leadership (Matching) Bonuses.

How to… Begin the Day with God

“My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,
O Lord; in the morning will I direct
my prayer unto Thee and look up.”
Psalm 5:3

Most people approach life reactively, not proactively. Instead of planning ahead and making advance preparations for the circumstances with which they might meet during the course of the day, people tend to react instinctively toward life. They simply do what comes most naturally – like a “knee-jerk” reflex – waiting until after the fact of succumbing to temptation or reacting sinfully to a confrontation to begin repairing the damage.

Rushing into the day with little or no aforethought, circumstances rule and govern their attitudes. Happy circumstances make for pleasant moods; unhappy circumstances produce corresponding attitudes ranging from fear to anger to depression. How many times, for instance, has an angry motorist during morning “rush hour” had the effect of setting the tone of your thinking the remainder of the day?

Christian people, however, are called to “rule their spirits” – to determine their own attitudes, not to allow circumstances to bludgeon and control them: “He that ruleth his spirit [is better] than he that taketh a city” (Pro. 16:32b; cf. Pro. 25:28). The New Testament term for this kind of self-control is temperance – one of the distinguishing traits of a Christ-like character that the Holy Spirit develops in the soul (Gal. 5:22). The challenge that faces the believer each day might be expressed in terms of the need to respond Biblically (instead of react instinctively) toward the circumstances he encounters. Without a deliberate effort to calibrate one’s thinking and attitudes to the truth of God’s word every day, practical holiness proves evasive. Like water naturally follows the path of least resistance, flowing to the lowest point, so people, who are naturally habituated as sinners, instinctively react in the flesh to daily pressures and problems unless they plan and prepare for each day by drawing nigh to God. Ralph Cushman captures my sentiment in his poem “In the Morning”:

I met God in the morning
When my day was at its best,
And His presence came like sunrise
Like a glory in my breast.

All day long the Presence lingered;
All day long He stayed with me.
And we sailed with perfect calmness
O’er a very troubled sea.

Other ships were blown and battered,
Other ships were sore distressed;
But the winds that seemed to drive them
Brought to us a peace and rest.

Then I thought of other mornings
With a keen remorse of mind,
When I, too, had loosed the moorings
With the Presence left behind.

So I think I know the secret,
Learned from many a troubled way.
You must seek God in the morning
If you want Him through the day.

The Psalmist knew that a robust and vibrant walk with God was inseparably connected to the hard work of spiritual discipline. Note his language of commitment and resolve: "My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning…in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee and will look up (Ps. 5:3). Christians, likewise, must regularly remind themselves that godliness does not occur in a vacuum. The Christian life is not magic. Indeed, there is a supernatural dimension to Christian living, but unless the believer abides in Christ like a branch remains connected to the vine, he cannot produce the fruit of the Spirit (Jno. 15:4). Instead of love and joy and peace and longsuffering, the person who fails to maintain the moment-by-moment habit of communion with God will naturally manifest self-centeredness, cynicism, strife and impatience as the dominant characteristics of life.

The attempt to meet the challenges, bear the burdens, resist the temptations, solve the problems, and fulfill the responsibilities to which one is exposed each day without first drawing near to God is doomed for failure. It is equivalent to operating a vehicle on water instead of gasoline. Operating in the energy of the flesh, the believer is like Samsongoing through the motions of daily life, yet, all the while, oblivious to the fact that the Lord has departed from him. Tragic unconsciousness!

How, then, does a Christian abide in Christ so that the life of the Vine flows through the branch and produces fruit? The believer stays connected or linked to Christ through the spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible intake, fellowship with other believers, and public worship. These are the spiritual resources that God has provided for godly discipleship. They are spiritual necessities, not spiritual luxuries. An authentic Christian life is simply not possible without them.

Just as Daniel purposed in his heart to live uncompromisingly in Babylon (Dan. 1:8), the Christian must purpose in his heart to cleave to Jesus Christ (Acts 11:23). He must make a conscious and deliberate moral efforta decision, if you willto live Christianly. If he doesnt stir himself up to take hold of the Lord and make a concerted effort to master his thoughts and attitudes, he will inevitably stagnate (Is. 64:7; cf. 2 Tim. 1:6).

Further, he must learn to narrow the focus and live a day at a time. No one can live a successful life all at once. A God-honoring and productive Christian life is composed of a series of God-honoring and productive Christian days strung together in succession. Someone once said Life is what happens to you while youre waiting for life to happen. The quest for a fruitful life, then, will only be realized by the individual who makes daily discipleship his focus (Lk. 9:23).

Toward that goal, I suggest the following practical directions for beginning the day with God. These are the specific thoughts and activities that have helped me get off to a good start each day.

First, at the moment you awaken, reflect on the great truth that His mercies are new every morning (Lam. 3:22). Past crises have not exhausted the Lords supply of grace. In the words of John Newton, He has a never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace. Whatever trials or problems you might encounter today will not challenge the inexhaustible resources of your God. He has promised, As thy days, so shall thy strength be (Deut. 33:25). Though you have drawn deep from the well of Divine mercy for past sins, you have not depleted Gods super-abounding grace (Rom. 5:20). His mercies are new every morning; His grace is sufficient for you.

Next, let the Lord “hear your voice” through prayer and song. Jesus frequently rose early and departed to a solitary place to pray (Mr. 1:35). Even so, followers of Jesus should make it a habit to prepare in advance for the demands of each day by beginning it in communion with the Father. He delights to hear the prayers of the upright (Pro. 15:8; Songs 2:14). They, in turn, should delight in the unparalleled opportunity to draw near to Him.
Here, in “the secret place of the Most High” (Ps. 91:1), you may commit the cares of the day to God, asking for His blessing, direction, and strength, that He might be glorified in and through you. Here you may remind yourself of the fact that this day, whatever may be the current circumstances, is a priceless gift from Godthe day that the Lord hath made (Ps. 118:24). Here you may also, like that early-riser named Job, make intercession for your children before God (Job 1:5). Hymns such as Again, from Calm and Sweet Repose and I Love the Quietness of the Morning are especially appropriate to sing before the Lord during these brief morning exercises.

Thirdly, as you proceed to make physical preparations for the day, remember the words of Jesus, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Mt. 4:4). Our needs, in other words, are not merely physical, but spiritual. Nourishment for the soul is as necessary as food for the body. It is helpful, then, to use the occasion of making physical provisions for the day as a stimulus and reminder of the need to provide for the spiritual life also. While you are dressing the body, remember that you must also clothe the inward man. Dress for spiritual success by “putting on” the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 13:12-14), charity (Col. 3:10,12-14), humility (1 Pet. 5:5), and the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:10ff). Further, let your morning look into the mirror be the catalyst to remind you of the need to look into the mirror of God’s word—the “perfect law of liberty”—in order to make adjustments to your thinking and conform yourself to the perfect will of God (Jas. 1:22-25; Rom. 12:2; cf. Jos. 1:8). Time spent in the word of God at the beginning of each day has a way of conditioning the mind to think Biblically about every circumstance one may encounter.

Finally, it will help you to spend some time in meditation. In preaching, God speaks to us. In prayer, we talk to God. In meditation, we talk to ourselves about God, taking our cue from His word. Meditationthinking Gods thoughts in Gods presenceis a necessary spiritual discipline for every Christian. The Puritans frequently encouraged their hearers to preach the gospel to themselves. In the wake of such wise counsel, I would urge every reader to make a deliberate effort to remind himself, at the beginning of each day, of several specific truths.

First, remind yourself of who your God is. It helps me to repeat salient passages like Habakkuk 2:20 (The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him) and Isaiah 40:28 (Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard? That the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary). With such a view of the sovereignty and majesty of God, I then like to spend a few moments meditating on the preciousness of Christ: For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be weary and faint in your minds (Heb. 12:3).

Next, remind yourself of who you are. I fear that many professed believers think of themselves primarily in terms of their occupation (I am a banker or I am a student or I am a salesman). They define who they are by what they do. But Christians are called to reckon themselves dead indeed unto sin and alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom. 6:11). The believer should always think of himself/herself, first and foremost, in terms of his relationship to God. It helps me to begin each day by asking myself the question, Do I know who I am? and then answering, Yes, Im a child of the King and by His grace, I will live accordingly.

Also, remind yourself of how weak and sinful you are apart from God’s grace. Solomon identified genuine seekers of God as those who know every man the plague of his own heart (1 Kings 8:38); Paul as people who have no confidence in the flesh (Phi. 3:3). Now, I am not describing a kind of morose self-loathingan attitude that is the polar opposite of joy. No, there is nothing holy about such a self-absorbed mindset. But an awareness that, in and of myself, I am prone to stumble and fall and that there is no sin that I am incapable of committing is the very essence of what Scripture means when it exhorts, Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God (1 Pet. 5:6).

When I make an effort to remember my own potential to pride and anger and unloving behavior and to reflect on particular occasions in the past when I failed to control my old nature, it helps me “not to think more highly of myself than I ought to think, but to think soberly” (Rom. 12:3). To remember that I am what I am by the grace of God (1 Cor. 15:10) helps me to bear insult and injury and to esteem anything short of eternal punishment a mercy from Gods hand. It helps me to think, I am prone to stumble; therefore, I need to guard my heart with all diligence (Pro. 4:23). Without Christ, I can do nothing (Jno. 15:4). I must draw nigh to Him in my meditations and prayers (1 Ths. 5:17) and walk humbly with my God (Mic. 6:8).

In the fourth place, remind yourself of the dangers that face you living in a world that is under the curse of sin. Christians forget that this world is enemy territory at their peril. The Christian life is a relentless battle and struggle against a triple threat that Scripture calls the world, the flesh, and the devil (Eph. 2:2-3). How critically important to meditate on the reality of the conflict in which we are engaged! Satan, the arch-enemy and adversary of our souls, walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8). He is a thief. His principal goal is to make casualties of Gods children along the way. He steals and kills and destroys. Many strong men have been unsuspectingly slain by him. He will steal your mind by false teaching. He will steal your time by worldly distractions. He will steal your joy by cultivating the seeds of bitterness and envy in your heart. He will steal your virtue by tempting you to moral impropriety. He will steal your life by tempting you to involve yourself in one-hundred-one different pursuits that he promises will bring happiness or success or security. What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? How important it is to remind ourselves at the beginning of each day that this vile world is not a friend to grace to bring us on to God!

Fifthly, remind yourself that all of life is lived before the face of God. David practiced the presence of God he disciplined himself to live with a conscious awareness that God was watching: Because I have set the Lord always before me, I shall not be moved (Ps. 16:8). Elder T. L. Webb, Jr. wisely suggested the practice of placing an empty chair at the table when the family sits to eat, or in front of the church during a business meeting, as a reminder that the Lord is present. Would we not be more cautious in both word and deed if we were conscious of the reality of His presence?

Next, in your morning meditations, think about the brevity of life and the preciousness of time. The Psalmist prayed, Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am (Ps. 39:4). Moses, likewise, petitioned God saying, So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Ps. 90:12). Life is brief and uncertain at best. Our days pass away swiftlywe spend our years as a tale that is told. How precious, then, is every twenty-four hour period! How we need to redeem the time! Do you ever live with vain regret over the way that you have squandered opportunities to serve the Lord, frittering your life away in trivial pursuits? Can you sing, Much of my time has run to waste? Indeed, I need to be reminded of Peters admonition every day: That [we] no longer should live the rest of [our] time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles (1 Pet. 4:2-3). Beginning the day with such a sharpened focus on the brevity of life will necessarily produce a more concentrated, and hence, more productive, Christian life.

Finally, begin each day in meditation on the fact that God is in sovereign control of your circumstances. My times are in His hands (Ps. 31:15). Commit the control of your future unto His wise and loving discretion and your thoughts will be established (Pro. 16:3; Ps. 37:5; 2 Tim. 1:12).

To begin each day with these deliberate exercises will prevent many sins. And the days will turn to weeks, and the weeks to months, and the months to years, and the years to a lifetime of godliness.

Take Time To Pray

I got up early in the morning
And rushed right into the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn't take time to pray.
Problems just tumbled around me
And heavier came each task.
I whined, "Why doesn't God help me?"
He said, "You didn't ask."
I groaned and shouted and grumbled,
I tried every key in the lock.
I cried, "why doesn't He open?"
He said, "Son, you didn't knock."
So, I got up early this morning
And paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish
I had to take time to pray.
