Your daily routine

​What is your motivation, light or inspiration? Everyone has a preference on how to start their day.  Even when we don’t hit our stride or have time to perform our preferred preference, we wish we had.  One sets the coffeepot to brew at the right time, another checks their facebook status, another picks up a Bible, tells google to play their favorite song, or simply breathes a prayer.  Devotionals like this one, can be helpful tools like prayer and Bible study to help us orient our day.  Some have the privilege, discipline and well-developed habit of hitting the elliptical, or treadmill while listening to a podcast or keeping up with the latest stock projections.  Like life, days don’t always start the way we make our plans and adjustments have to be made. Life can sometimes be so random that one would be tempted to follow the aggressive management philospy of Peters & Austin: “Ready: Fire! Aim! Fire! Aim!  In addition to all our plans it might be helpful to give mental assent not to a task, but a Person.  Psalm 18:28 points to this concept.  “You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.”  (Psalm 18:28 NIV11-GK). What a comfort to know that the One who made the heavens and the earth can keep us going. Whether on task or in trouble, He is able to keep us or deliver us!  Praise God!
