Waking up is hard to do...both figuratively and literally. (Isn't there a song something like that?) Morning often occurs without permission and shows up when I am least ready for it. My first thoughts are to remember what day it is and if it already holds a schedule for me. This dictates how rapidly I rise. Sometimes yesterday's burdens can cloud my judgment and mar the excitement of the day ahead. Shame on me for that...because I have a brand new day in front of me.
It is a matter of mindset. Who gave me this very day, unused, without script or agenda? (and even a scheduled one is unpredictable at times) The Lord did. He puts the unmapped hours before me, and challenges me to trust His lead.
I want to begin each day with these thoughts:
Lord, what do You want of me today?
Direct my steps and make the path clear.
I will begin with the things I know are pleasing to You and welcome any interruptions You bring. May my schedule be open, and productive.
Take these uncharted hours and glorify Yourself with them.
I can't wait to see what will happen. Let this day be my best day.
God will never disappoint. He has just been waiting for me to just wake up.
