Lazaroo – Thursday, January 6, 2011
1 comment, Jan 06, 2011
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with pure devotion:
“Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD…”
(1 Samuel 1:19)
That’s how I’m determined to start every day this year, Jesus:
worshiping You.
It doesn’t matter whether I slept well, slept poorly…
or not at all.
It doesn’t matter whether yesterday was a win, a bust…
or as usual, somewhere in-between.
It doesn’t matter what I expect this day to hold…
or if I don’t have a clue.
At the very outset of this day
You deserve my wholehearted worship
my undivided devotion
my total focus
my utter trust.
I don’t want to wait to seek Your face
before bedtime
at lunch
midmorning.
That’s not soon enough.
Too much happens before then.
By then I may have headed down the wrong path without knowing it.
I can’t afford that.
In the very first moments of my day
I want it to become
Your day.

I struggle with that “early” part of the scripture. I try to worship God everyday, but it doesn’t necessarily come in the “eary morning”
