I'm amazed at how my Savior can take any and every circumstance around me to show me more about him. My prayer has always been that this journey of life I'm on would continually bring honor and glory to him, so by using every opportunity; my mistakes, my successes, and my day-to-day adventures, he teaches me how to use it for his glory. This life he blessed me with is ALL about him! So, these are my thoughts, my heart cries, and my lessons from his glorious Word. These are the teachable moments from my Savior!

Psalm 25:4-5 "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."

Setting My Mind on Things Above

Good Monday morning!

As you wake up this morning planning for the week ahead, where does your mind go? Is it focused on all the negatives of crowded schedules and long "to-do" lists or is it God-focused and laid at His feet for guidance and direction?

Well, I'm preaching to myself this morning! Lol!

My "to-do" list was running through my head when I woke up this morning as this is a busy work week. My phone was already ringing at 6:15 and as I was going through all the scenarios planning out different things, God quickly reminded me to stop and set my mind on things above.

"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."
Colossians 3:2 (NIV)

Yes, I need to be prepared but, even more so, I need to commit everything to God. When my plans are made with God in the forefront, then I surrender my all to His perfect plans for me. Choosing God's ways over my own are not always the easiest but sure have proven over and over again to be the best!

"Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you."
Psalms 37:5 (NLT)

Today, I begin my week at the feet of Jesus! I lay down my "to-do" list and my calendar and cling to the Word for guidance. I will praise His wonderful name and look forward to seeing His glory abound!

Happy Monday everyone! Now....let's do this in the strength and power of Jesus!
