Is It Really A "GOOD" Morning????
The most common greeting in the morning is of course "Good Morning". Most times we say it without even thinking...Someone greets us with a "Good Morning" and most of us respond with a "Good Morning" most of the time...I have been known to mumble it or just wave especially when I first get up...I am NOT a morning person, but I have been somewhat delivered from what I call "Morning Foolishness"... I don't like people talking to me before 8...I'll text, but I don't want to talk...but one thing about my dear, sweet mother (and if you know my mother, you'll know I'm being sarcastic, lol, she's sweet, but good Lawd, that's another blog) she speaks "Good Morning" loud and clear and she doesn't care if I respond, roll my eyes, wave, mumble or what...if we're around each other in the morning, she still does it! One thing I have never uttered though is "What's good about it?" as I have heard some people say...I used to think that they were miserable, foolish people that didn't recognize their blessings and that it was a new day...would they really say that and God has given them breath... I really looked at these people with disgust...UNTIL TODAY!!! This morning God spoke to me and said how different are you? If you wake up rolling your eyes and thinking "Lord, another day, I don't feel like this today" and mumbling and grumbling, how different are you?? My attitude reflects my emotions and we can't live in emotions...this morning I was aggravated by how many different situations I'm waiting on God to resolve, fix, turn around...I was aggravated by the fact that I see the financial situations, the family situations, the career situations, and so on still sitting there and I'm still waiting on him to fix...and the aggravation flared up when someone that could help, but didn't help made me mad last night...so I carried it into another day! Listen people, no matter what the situation, the circumstance, the problems, it is a GOOD morning, and a GREAT DAY!!! Why? Because He created it, and He only creates what? Good and perfect things!!! It's up to us to put aside what we're struggling with and TRUST Him that despite whatever we're going through, that it is indeed a GOOD morning, and a GREAT DAY...as long as you lose control and allow Him to control the day, then it will be just that...You may not see what you want to see in that day, but I'm reminded of my favorite scripture Romans 8:28 " And we know that God causes everything to work togethert for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. So guess what? That means every struggle, every heartache, every pain, every battle, every great person in your life, every evil person in your life, what you do, what God does, what the devil does, AAAALLLLLLL of it works together for your good. Even your mistakes and your wrongdoing! Yep, I said your mistakes and your wrongdoing will work together for your GOOOOOOODDD! Is that a license to sin and do wrong? Nope, because there are still consequences, but in the end it works for your good. The Word said EVERYTHING! Don't ask me how a God can work EVERYTHING out for your good...just know that He's God and He is more than able!!! There is something we have to do: Love Him and walk in the purpose for which He has made us...and ALL of us have a purpose! Don't know what you're called to do or your purpose? Ask Him to reveal it to you and then walk in it! People it's not hard, we make it hard! The Message Translation says: That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. So no matter what you have going on...I don't care what it is...it can be the best of the best or the worst of the worst...He is working it out for your GOOD! So guess what is a GOOD MORNING and a GREAT DAY!!!! From this day forward, say it every morning to HIM and to your loved ones, your co workers, even strangers, and mean it! Own it! It's yours! Sooooooo....GOOD MORNING! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!! :):):):):):)

ReplyDeleteOh I love it! Why can I just see you "waving" instead of saying GOOD MORNING!?? Lol! God just stepped on my toes with this one because some days I just want to lay in the bed alllll day without even opening my mouth to say THANK YOU LORD! I know, I know...but hey, we are being real about this thang! Thank you for reminding us that EVERY morning we are blessed to live is indeed a GOOD one! We ought to trade places with the ones who would love to see this day but can't because they're 6 feet under....hmph. Glory be to GOD! Thank you Jesus!
