First Thoughts

PM#0452 First Thoughts
I Cor 15 vs 31

What are your first thoughts when you wake up? Do you have a heavy heart and need to speak something, that you think will help, but in reality by speaking it, it is really getting that thought out of your system?

First thoughts in the morning are often private thoughts that we do not share even with those very close to us. We want our ‘coffee’ first.

First thoughts often reveal issues that are in our heart that we have not turned over to the Lord. Maybe this is one thing the Apostle Paul may have meant when said I die daily to self. See I Cor 15 vs 31.

Perhaps all of us need to daily die to self in the morning and ask God for help to encourage those around us to focus on Him throughout the day.

Consider this prayer on awakening: Father, help me to focus on You and encourage others today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
