Daily Reading:
Psalm 100
The psalms of David is an express reflection of reliance and total submission to God in all endeavors. David was said to be a man after God's heart. In order words, he knew God and had a personal relationship with Him. Your day will be far better off if you first recognize not just the essence of prayer but partnership with God. As we feed the body, so also we must feed the spirit.Everyday many complain that there is no time: wake up by 4:30am, clean up the house and try to meet with other daily time requirements but the truth is when you love something you create time for it, therefore if you love God, you'll create time for Him. Its so easy, Mr James may forget other details but will not forget to consume his cigarrette even as early as 8:00am in the morning.
What about John, who thinks without a bottle of beer, the whole day will just go bad and makes sure he keeps tab with at least a bottle a day. In natural setting, the more time you spend with someone, the more attention you get from that person. It takes commitment to communicate each day with God.
For instance, a husband who does not speak to his wife every morning before going out should really be expecting quarrels. Socially, it is wrong for two people to come out of the same building without interaction. It takes only the meek in heart to portray an attitude of commitment towards the things of God. In your daily life you should never forget that God is the giver of life and the owner of everything we have in life; he gives and takes. A heart of worship must be our daily point of action.
Ps 100:1 says "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord", you must be joyful and thankful in all you do.
A story is told a man who went to knock on the door of an alcohol vendor late in the night and all he was saying was one tot, one tot, one tot. Guess what, he felt much better after that tot. How much better will we feel if we have just a tot of God each day, and I pray that God will promote us from one tot to the fullness of His glory.
Start your day always with the atmosphere of worship, enjoy God's company through the reading and acceptance of his word. May God reward you richly with His revelations as you partner with Him daily.
Prayer: Lord, help me to know you more and increase my daily thirst for you, in Jesus name... Amen
