Setting the Tone for Your Day
Adapted from Power Thoughts Devo
In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].
What was the first thing you said after getting up this morning? I believe we can prophesy (speak forth) and set the tone of the day by what we say at the beginning of it.
Maybe you said, “I’m tired, and I dread going to work.” Those kinds of words often come naturally, but you can decide to live supernaturally. You can talk as God would and say what He would say. Can you honestly imagine God saying, “I’m afraid this is going to be a lousy day”?
Of course not! He would say something awesome and positive, and we should too—things like: “I have favor everywhere I go”; “Today is going to be an awesome day”; “I’m going to see the hand of God at work today!”
Prayer of the Day: Father, help me begin each day with a positive, faith-filled attitude. Remind me to speak words that agree with Your Word and trust You for good things throughout the day. In Jesus' name, amen.
