The Big Idea: 

Like the natural circadian rhythm of the sunflower, I believe God has placed the same rhythm inside you and me.  Every morning and every evening we are to turn our face toward the Son of God. We are to recognize Him as the source of life. It is in the consistency of our turning to Jesus that we grow spiritually and become healthy.

Main Points:

1. If a flower can recognize the necessity of the warmth and radiance of the sun, how much more should you and I recognize our need to turn our hearts towards God each morning and evening?
2. Maybe some of the weariness we feel physically, emotionally, and certainly spiritually, is because we have let life crowd out our time with God. The strength we need, the peace we crave, and the wisdom we desire all come from being with Jesus. 
3. But if you listen for it, you’ll hear his voice inviting you into a closer, more meaningful, and fuller relationship with himself.
