God is first, second, third... God is all in all I do. He is to be the focus of my every moment. When he is the focus... When seeking His face, is the goal of my life, I will be smothered in a sea of peace...that displaces all worry.
He is always with me... But do I recognize Him, do I acknowledge that he is with me... Whether I am washing dishes, eating a meal, or driving my car?
He always IS... even when I am not.

God's perfect road
God knows what my day is going to consist of? He knows my whereabouts. He knows what I will encounter. His plan is bigger than mine. What does that mean to me? If god knows everything about my day... And he will work all things for my good, then I should jump out of bed with a huge smile and with joy... Everything is under His control.
By my spending time with God, He will equip me with me everything that I need for the journey ahead.
So today I will walk with great expectation to what God has for planned for me on the road before me. It will be a perfect road, as I walk with a perfect God.

Thank you God... For all
Today's reading is filled with action steps... Simple yet hard, especially when circumstances shaken our faith.
God asks us to:
1. Trust him... By relinquishing control ... As He is in contol. What do I need to relinquish control by trusting God?
2. Let go... What do I need to let go into God's hands... After I choose to trust Him first?
3. Respond out of love... His gift of love given to all... How do I respond out of love? I guard this gift by igniting it in my life by spending time in His Presence. His love, His Present.
4. Pour out my heart to Him... As He knows it anyway. Be honest, be candid... What peace is experienced when I can pour out my heart to the one who loves me unconditionally.
5. Thank Him... For listening to me and hearing me... And answering me. He always answers even when I can't see the answers. God... Always working behind the scenes on my behalf. Working ALL things for good ( Romans 8:28). He tells us to " be joyful always; pray continuously; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). I will practice a lifestyle of thanks... Especially when my circumstances scream complain... How hard to thank God when my heart feels unthankful... But knowing God is always working behind the scenes in my life, piecing together my life for His glory... How could I complain? So where in my life do I have to start thanking God?
So I thank you God for having all control over my life. I thank you for putting up with me when I am ungrateful. I thank you for for your gift of love, through your Son. I thank you that I am able to come to you and honestly pour out my heart to you. I thank you for answering all my prayers in your perfect way that is perfect for me. I thank you lord and will " be still knowing that you are the God" of my life.. Today, tomorrow, forever.
Trust. Let go. Pour out. Thank. The steps for a peaceful walk.

Plant Your Desires
What an amazing prayer...Lord, plant YOUR desires for me in my heart. How cool is that? Not my will, but God's will. Since God made me, since He knows when "I sit and stand", since He knows everything about me, then He knows what desires I should have. I don't have to go seeking for a purpose, I just have to pray for the Lord to plant His desires in me...and then He will be the one to grow them into something beautiful. What peace.
Psalm 37, I feel really explains this...If I take delight in the Lord and trust in Him...He WILL...there is that promise...He Will give me the desires of my heart. My heart is His. It will be His desires for me. The perfect desires that are perfect for me. I will wait on the Lord and ask Him to "plant His desires on my heart" and wait in great expectation for what He is going to do through me.
Thank you my God.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun
