THREE STRATEGIES FOR THE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF YOUR DAY 1. Choose to serve the Lord with all your heart. Every morning we have the opportunity to choose who we are going to serve; who we are going to live to please that day. Every morning we can consecrate ourselves to the Lord. You might pray something like this: Lord, You are my highest desire. I want to serve You and please You in every aspect of my life today. This is the day You have made. I choose to rejoice and be glad in it! 2. Choose to be happy and full of joy. Joy and gladness don’t just happen to us — we choose them! We may not feel happy or joyful, but when we act in happy, joyful ways, our feelings will begin to respond to our choices. So recount God’s faithfulness to you. Thank Him for all He has done, and remember the ways that He has delivered you in the past. Don’t focus on what you haven’t got — be grateful for what you have. Put a song in your heart, and sing it all day long. Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” 3. Choose to look to God to provide for your needs. God says we are to ask Him for our daily bread. He is Jehovah Jireh — the all-sufficient One. He never runs out of what we need! When the children of Israel gathered manna, there was always enough. They were never lacking, and didn’t have to work for it. But they did have to look to Him to provide it, and receive it from His hand. Trust God to meet your needs at the beginning of every day.....
