The Big Idea: 

Every morning when you wake up God has given you the gift of another day. Each morning we have a choice of how we are going to start this new day. How we start the day is often an indication of what kind of day we will have.


Main Points:

1. If we oversleep that impacts our day. If we rush into work tasks that will impact our day. Throughout scripture we see examples of people starting their day with God.
2. Throughout any typical day, I’m going to need God’s strength and wisdom. I’m going to face challenges, stress, and possibly anxiety. I’ve discovered that when I miss my morning with God, it impacts my whole day. 
3. Before I rush off to work, I want to quiet my spirit. I want to listen for the voice of God. I want to feed my soul by spending a few minutes in the Word of God. I want to make time to pray and give God my burdens. I want to ask him to bless, guide, and direct the day ahead.
