I woke up like this...

Praising God is what “I” do and what “we” were created to do.  At night when I lay down, I give thanks for the day.  When I wake up in the morning I am giving thanks for bringing me through the night and into another day; and throughout the day I am returning for a refill because life, as with anything done consistently and with fever – we get fatigued.  Christian need to be replenished often with and by the word of God because if we are walking right – we are giving out of ourselves to others because the goodness of the Lord isn't just to be kept within but to be shared and demonstrated in order to advance his Kingdom.  Many like to sing the Beyonce’ song “Flawless – I woke up like this”.  Both she and we woke up this very day with problems and life happening all around us; and not always bad things but life itself is hard some days.  Money does not absolve us from life.  Had the good Lord chosen not to flip our life switch on this ante meridiem (AM), none of us would have woken up at all.  We are losing since of what our priorities should be because we are getting lost in the waves of life and God has given us the authority to call peace into our circumstance through him; and he is bidding us to come ashore but some are adrift and unsure how to swim back to shore.  Praise will cause any unrest and insecurity in your life to cease, but you must first speak to the situation by the authority of Jesus Christ.  So… Yes – “I woke up like this” – with praise and worship on my lips and permeating in my spirit.
