Do Our Mornings Matter?35Taking the time to sit and savor all the possibility wrapped
up in the next twenty- four hours is refreshing, inspiring,
and invigorating. The One who, with a simple whisper to
your heart, can make all right with the world, waits ever so
patiently for you each morning. He knows you. He wants you.
He remembers your biggest dreams, your secret hopes, and
your desperate prayers. He paid a great price to meet you in
your darkest hour, to give you the greatest gift.
He is my greatest gift, the source of my hope and security.
With Him, every single day, all things are possible.
God Holds Our Possibilities
Think about it. If I believe God created me with a specific
purpose and plan for my life, then He must have a purpose
and plan for my year. If He has a purpose and plan for my
year, He has a purpose and plan for my days. That means He
has a purpose and plan for today. And if my all- knowing, all-
powerful, loving God has a plan for my day, why wouldn’t I
want to be a part of it?
He created me and understands my deepest needs. He
knows the most powerful ways I can be used to bring glory to
Him and bring hope and healing to others. He knows exactly
how I can have the greatest impact with my life, with every
si ng le day.
How could checking e- mail, Facebook, or Instagram com-
pare with checking in with the God of the universe who has an
agenda for my day that is a perfect fit for me?
Every morning we have the choice to trudge through the
day without vision or direction, feeling purposeless and over-
whelmed. Or we can connect with God, glimpse His directions
