Morning Prayer, Tuesday, April 16, 2024 - WORD(S) OF THE DAY:  FULLY COMMITTED

Father God, even though there are times when I fall short in putting You first, my prayer is that going forward, You will always be number one.  Amen

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war.”  (2 Chronicles 16:9)

“Put God in charge of your work, then what you’ve planned will take place.” (Proverbs 16:3)

“Commitment is an act not a word.”  There are many things we can be fully committed to in this life such as family, work, marriage, church and most importantly, God.   We do sometimes fail at juggling them all.  Some days it is just a hit and miss.  You start out with good intentions but then things happen and before you know it, you are struggling to pull it all together.  Now some of us may say, I give 100% to work and family, but fall short sometimes with God.   Another day we are fully committed to church, but then the marriage is failing.  It is hard trying to balance this all alone. I tried to fix it but things just seemed to get worse.  Listen, I know exactly how you feel.  You see, what it all comes down to is priorities.  If we don’t start with God first, we stand the chance of the whole day being off balance.  When we fully commit ourselves to God, everything else falls into its proper place.  That means I take the time out to converse with and pray with God.  I take the time to meditate on His Word.  I seek Him for direction and instructions on next steps.  It can't be a I put God in when time permits or when things have gone awry, or I'm desperate.  That will never work.  Believe me it will never work.  It has to always be God first.  That is always the best plan of action in your life.
