Day 1,
"17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms" (Ephesians 1:17-20).
I'm praying to be confident of the power that He wants to have in me. That I will NOT depend upon myself, but look to GOD for everything today and in the days to come.
A pastor friend I know was counting the sermons he had delivered in his time serving a church. I started doing the same thing. When I first saw the low numbers I couldn't even image getting very far. 100 weeks is a long time, but I finally made it. That number 1 for today looks so far away from 365. I can't do it on my own. I have to always have that in mind.
GOD, show me your power and help me to be obedient to Your leading. I know that You have strength enough for all that I will do today and more. Allow me to be mindful of it!
First note for what GOD is doing: Two days ago, my wife and I were trying to figure out where we were going to get a few extra dollars to take care of a couple things. I got upset. Yesterday, her last paycheck came that we were not expecting. He even provides when we don't go to him first. All the more reason to tap into that power. His plan is better and wouldn't have caused my distress.
Here we go Wayne!
