A Great Way To Start!

I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.  I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.  Psalm 119:15-16           

 I recently read this about the well-known evangelist from years past, Billy Sunday.   “When Billy Sunday was converted and joined the church, a Christian man put his arm on the young man’s shoulder and said, “William there are three simple rules I can give you, and if you will hold to them you will never write “backslider” after your name.  Take fifteen minutes each day to listen to God talking to you; take fifteen minutes each day to talk to God; take fifteen minutes each day to talk to others about God.”  This young convert was deeply impressed and determined to make these the rules of his life.  From that day onward throughout his life he made it a rule to spend the first moments of his day alone with God and God’s word.  Before he read a letter, looked at a paper or even read a telegram, he went first to the Bible that the first impression of the day might be what he got directly from God.”

I can’t think of a better way to start our day than with our eyes, hearts and minds given over to God and His Word.  I know that many say, “It is not how we start but how we finish that counts.”  I want to remind you that it is the first step we take that begins the race that we run.  Our lives will be centered and set in the right direction when we begin each day with God and His Word.  Your footing will be firm; your faith will be strengthened when you meditate, delight in and forget not the Word of God and the God of the Word.

When I was saved I was working at a factory.  A lot in my life changed.  One of the things the Lord placed on my heart was to start my day a little earlier so that I could spend time in His Word and in prayer.  I want to challenge you that no matter what your job is or what time your day starts begin each day in such a way.  You will never regret it.  As you start your day with the Word of God you will have the right approach to your day and you will be firm and fixed on a solid foundation.
