That particular cream
in your coffee or that organic maple syrup for your pancakes, these daily routines
seem to keep you flowing. When you wake up on time, get the family on the ball and
steadily follow your meticulous schedule, life is amazing. What happens when
you oversleep, there is no hot water or a notice on your phone pops up
that your account is overdrawn? How do you react? Will your day continue
in peace? This is daily living, it happens and when our spirits are fueled with
scripture and prayer, we shall overcome!
There have been
times when my daughter starts pulling my eyelids to wake me up and at that
moment of frustration I would begin to mentally curse my day. My thoughts would
instantly start to see everyone in displeasure. "Why can't I just wake up
without human alarm clocks?! I can forget about a peaceful day." This is
when the word of God storms in and reminds me that life is bothersome, but God is
Awesome and it helps me demand peace! "Ok I'm up! I'm so glad I can wake
up to my little girls smile! Today is a blessed day!" We must pray without
ceasing!
John 16:33, New
International Version (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in
me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!
I have overcome the world.”
