Mornings are my favorite time of the day. I'll wake up very early while the house is quiet to meet one-on-one with my Heavenly Father. No one in the house is awake yet to distract me. I need this time....I crave this time...I prioritize this time. This is the time when He redirects my thoughts, when He corrects me, when He encourages me, when He gives me peace, when He gives me His plans for me for that day...you get the picture.
This morning my two dogs,Patrick and Spooky, taught me a lesson. Every morning they follow me throughout the house. They are right there at my heels while I brush my teeth, take my vitamins, and make my coffee among other things. They eventually follow me into my library or out to my deck where they sit at my feet, sigh contentedly and wait expectantly for my next move. This got me thinking. How often do I follow my Father around in the ordinary events of the day? How often do I sit at His feet and just wait? How often am I satisfied in just Him?
I'd like to say that my answer to each of these questions is 100% of the time, but I'd be lying. Thankfully, He is patient with me. He gives me do-overs constantly. He knows where my heart wants to be. He sees my life from the beginning to the end and all the days in between . I am a work in progress. :)
"Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives." ~Psalm 90:14
