Are You Prepared?

Linger in My Presence a while. Rein in your impulses to plunge into the day’s activities. Beginning your day alone with Me is essential preparation for success. A great athlete takes time to prepare himself mentally for the feat ahead of him before he moves a muscle. Similarly, your time of being still in My Presence equips you for the day ahead of you. Only I know what will happen to you this day. I have arranged the events you will encounter as you go along your way. If you are not adequately equipped for the journey, you will grow weary and lose heart. Relax with Me while I ready you for action.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.- EPHESIANS 2:10

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.- HEBREWS 12:3

Starting your day with God is like starting a work presentation, reviewing what you are supposed to present, like the warm up before the game or like the appetizer before the meal. God wants us to communicate and study with him when before we start our days so that we are prepared for what he has planned for us that day. God knows everything. He knows what is going to happen to us today, tomorrow and 5 years from now. He is timeless and wants us to be ready for all that we are going to face. If we don't prepare ourselves, we are more likely to fail. God, our Father, does not want us to fail. He wants us to be able to relax and trust that He will guide us and protect us along the way. But if we don't let Him in and listen to Him, how can He do so?

Arrange your schedule so that you can listen, read or study His word before you begin your journey for the week or day. God wants us to be prepared. Let Him in and listen.
