Devotion

Today is Tuesday, May 29th 2012.  My devotion for today:  Emmanuel which means "God is with us" (Matt 1:23.  So, just as you received Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, continue to live in him - rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness (Col. 2:6-7).

May we start each day with a meeting with our Lord, Jesus Christ, pleasing Him, worshipping Him for who He is and what He has done for us.  God is good and desires our praises.  After being renewed with a good night's sleep, I prefer to start my day welcoming the Holy Spirit.  There's something special about early morning before things get so busy.  It's quiet, peaceful and clean looking when the sun is coming up in the country.  Our problems seem so little in the early morning.  I find it MY time to seek my heavenly Father, Emmanuel (God with us), to find answers for today's worries and receive strength for the battles I will face today.  Pour your heart out to Him - He is there for you.  He loves you and everything that touches your life touches Him.  The word of God says to cast your cares on Him for He cares for you.  When we wait until we are in the hectic hustle of the day, it is so easy to get caught up (raptured) in THIS WORLD.  We then often don't know which way to turn.  Suggestion to try for one month--set your clock an hour earlier and talk with Jesus.  Give your first thoughts to Him!  Share everything with Him.  Then have something nice to drink.  I prefer ice water then hot tea.  In the meantime, coffee will be brewing for my darling husband Mr. Roger.  It takes him a while to get started.  Bless his heart, he is definitely a keeper!

You know, about this morning stuff, I've not always been a morning person.  I used to tell people
