This morning I got up early…I couldn’t sleep anyway, and went out for breakfast. I thought about cooking at home, but then I knew I would turn on the news.
My habit for years has been to leave the house early, and grab a coffee and bagel, to head down to my church office. I would meet God and life was better for it. Today I have no church office living in Charlotte and often get caught up in turning on the news rather than seeking God first. 
😥
You see, I tend to be a news junky, and it’s had for me “Not” to know what is going on in the world. The problem is too much information without reinforcing my faith and trust in God just makes me like all the other crazy people in the world. Can you relate? 
🤓
So this morning I’m reading the Word, reading faith stories and praying for God’s grace to meet the challenges of the day. I know I’m filling my spiritual soul so that I can respond well with everything that comes my way. It doesn’t take my will away, but rather strengthens my resolve to trust God more than myself.
Maybe you’re facing a full day with lots of choices. Wouldn’t it be wise to fill your soul with faith before you have to battle worry? If you left home before you took time, take your 15 minute break at work. Go out to your car and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with the Fathers grace to empower the rest of your day. Trust me, things will go differently.
May God grant those of us who seek the Father’s face the power to live as we were designed to live-victorious in Jesus.
